LeBron James' Status vs. Denver Nuggets Revealed

The Los Angeles Lakers have released their injury report for this game

The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, and superstar forward LeBron James is being listed as questionable with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy.

James has been listed on the injury report with this specific injury for several games, but he typically ends up playing. That said, this is still something to monitor, as James has missed two games this month. This is an exciting Western Conference Finals rematch between Los Angeles and Denver, with the Lakers hoping this game turns out much different than all four of those games did.

The Nuggets of course swept the Lakers in that series, but all games were relatively close. There was some trash talk over the summer, with people on Denver's side calling out the Lakers a couple of times, and the Lakers responding a bit on media day. This kind of stuff always adds intrigue to matchups like this, so this should certainly be a fun one between two Western Conference rivals.

A potential first round matchup between the Nuggets and Lakers cannot be ruled out at this point, as Denver projects to finish near the top of the Western Conference, and the Lakers project to finish near the bottom of the playoff bracket. While a lot would have to go right in order for this matchup to happen again, it is very much a possibility as things sit currently.
