On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Lakers lost a close game to their cross-town rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers. On Friday, LeBron James and company will play another crucial game as they attempt to recover from their loss to the Phoenix Suns. Yet at this time, LeBron has surfaced on the injury list once more, putting him in jeopardy of missing this crucial game against Kevin Durant and the Suns.
LeBron James injury status vs. Suns
As has been the case for James over the last several games, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer has once again been listed as questionable to play on Friday. It’s the same right foot injury that has LeBron in danger of being sidelined against the Suns, but looking at the trend these past few games, the general expectation is that he should be good to go for Friday’s matchup.
It is also worth noting that the Lakers are still chasing a Top 6 finish in the West in order to avoid the Play-In tournament. At the moment, they are just one game behind the Golden State Warriors and the Clippers, who have an identical 42-38 record. Interestingly enough, the Lakers still have a shot at finishing fifth in the conference, which would pit them against the Suns in the opening round of the playoffs.
In other injury news, Anthony Davis is questionable for Friday’s game as well, while D’Angelo Russell is considered probable to play. Given how much is at stake for LA, it is likely that all three stars will be good to go on Friday against the Suns.
