The LA Lakers will take on the Dallas Mavericks tonight at the American Airlines Center. While the game is gaining massive attention due to the fact that it will mark the return of Luka Doncic to Dallas, there are more aspects to take into account. One being, will LeBron James play tonight? To draw clarity on that one would have to refer to the LA Lakers injury report.
LeBron James Injury Report
LeBron James is not listed in the injury report released by the Lakers ahead of the game against the Mavericks. Therefore, LeBron is expected to feature in the starting lineup tonight. Words cannot explain the stature LeBron James carries in the league, and having won everything that there was to win, a 40-year-old James is still oozing brilliance day in and day out.
James has been averaging 24.5 points, 7.9 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game this season. It is a commendable statistic for someone who is seemingly at the fag end of his career. His presence or absence can have a big say in the match and since he is fit, the Lakers will enter as favorites. It will be a heartfelt moment when he will meet his former scoring partner Anthony Davis tonight.
