Lakers Injury Report: Spurs Game Availability For LeBron James Revealed
Your Los Angeles Lakers are going to be more complete tonight than they have been in a month and a half.
Accordingly, LA superstar power forward LeBron James -- who had been previously listed as questionable with a sore left ankle earlier today -- will suit up for the Lake Show after all, per Mike Trudell of Lakers.com.
It's pretty impressive that the 38-year-old future Hall of Famer will suit up for the second time in a row. Then again, it's also fairly unnecessary, given that Los Angeles will be playing against a terrible team LA could probably beat without him. The man is defying the achievements of any other 38-year-old not named Michael Jordan or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Yes he's scoring more than that duo, but NBA defenses have totally changed.
James "only" played a hair 32:35 last night in a lopsided 133-115 Clippers loss, during which he put up a completely insane 46 points while shooting 16-of-29 from the field. He also pulled down eight boards, seven dimes, two swipes and one rejection.
Beyond The Chosen One, it appears that James is set to be joined by a healed Anthony Davis (in finite minutes) and new LA forward Rui Hachimura (RIP to the Kendrick Nunn Era).
