On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Memphis Grizzlies in California.

For the game, the Lakers could remain without LeBron James, as he is listed as questionable on the injury report.

James has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Via ESPN's Dave McMenamin: "LeBron James is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against Memphis. He has been out the last eight days, missing two games, as he manages a left foot injury"
