The LA Lakers have been on a roll lately. They have won seven of their last ten matches and are currently on a two-game winning run, sitting in parallel position with the Denver Nuggets with 20 wins and 14 losses in the season. The evident redemption is a result of new recruits firing on all cylinders, Austin Reaves stepping up as an offensive asset and most notably due to the return of the triumph card, LeBron James. Though King James was at his spectacular best on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks, there are still doubts about whether he will feature tonight against the Rockets.
LeBron James Injury Report Ahead Of The Match Against Rockets
As per the injury report, LeBron James is currently nursing from a left foot injury, and while he has completely healed, but it was enough to put him under the "probable" column for the match against the Houston Rockets, slated to take place at the Toyota Center. Probable status means that the team will remain cautious, yet will likely feature in the match.
Besides LeBron, five other Lakers players are mentioned on the official injury report. Anthony Davis is ‘Probable’ because of a left ankle sprain, and Gabe Vincent is ‘Doubtful’ due to a left oblique strain. Moreover, Jalen Hood-Schifino, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Christian Wood are ‘Out’ with a left hamstring strain, right foot surgery, and left knee surgery respectively.
LeBron James Makes History
On Friday, LeBron James orchestrated the LA Lakers' convincing 119-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks and, in the process broke Michel Jordan's longstanding record, which had been untouched for 22 years. James touched the 30-point mark in the match, which is recorded as the 563rd in his career, the most any player has ever raked in the NBA. Along with James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and Max Christie went past the threshold of 30 points in the match at the Crypto.com arena.
The win over Hawks has put momentum behind LA Lakers, thus, it will be intriguing to witness how the Lakers will fare against the Rockets tonight, to be held at the Toyota Center.
