Lakers Injury Report: LeBron James May Not Play In Second Game Of Back-To-Back Tonight

The King is questionable for the final game of 2023

A day after being robbed in broad daylight by attendant referees, your Los Angeles Lakers are back at it again tonight. This time, the Lakers will take on the New Orleans Pelicans on New Year's Eve night. 

However, the Purple and Gold may be without their 39-year-old superstar LeBron James. James is listed as questionable for the final game of 2023. 

Cam Reddish and D'Angelo Russell won't be available for tonight against the Pelicans, per the Lakers.

James was also listed as questionable against the Minnesota Timberwolves last night due to an illness. He played 39 minutes in that game, although Los Angeles lost anyway, 108-106. Today, he is listed with a left knee contusion and illness. 

The four-time MVP started last night's game pretty slow, but as soon as he got his feet under him, he looked like the player we've all become accustomed to. James scored 26 points on 10-for-21 shooting and dished out six assists, three boards, and three steals in the loss. 

I'm sure James sis till pretty upset about last night, but the best cure would be to go out there tonight and take it out on the Pelicans. Let's close out the year in the right way!
