LeBron James' Injury Status for Lakers vs Grizzlies Game 2 Revealed

LeBron James is listed on the injury report, but he should be playing.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies face off in a highly advertised Game 2, where no one knows what will truly happen. Will Ja Morant play? Will the Grizzlies finally back up their trash talk? There's one thing fans can expect though, for LeBron James to play.

LeBron James is officially listed as probable with right foot soreness against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 2. For what it's worth, LeBron James has been listed as probable for the majority of the regular season, and most of the time, he'll end up playing.

While LeBron James will be the best player on the court against the Memphis Grizzlies, the main player they need to worry about is Anthony Davis. Regardless, the Grizzlies need to do a better job of anticipating LeBron James' passes to players like Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves. There are so many weapons on this Lakers team that the Grizzlies will have to be very smart in how they double-team. They won't want to give LeBron James single coverage, but they also can't overextend on covering him to the point where they get burned by role players again.

Wednesday night is going to be an incredibly tough game for the Memphis Grizzlies, whether or not Ja Morant plays. It's a battle of chess, where the Lakers have more pieces than the Grizzlies currently do. It's going to take shot-making, hustle, and execution.
