After winning the first-ever NBA In-Season Tournament, the Lakers traveled to Texas for a three-game series against a couple of generational phenoms.
To begin the journey, LeBron James faced off against Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic, with Dallas coming out on top. One night later, James sat out his first-ever matchup against Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama due to a nagging calf illness on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Lakers will play Wembanyama’s Spurs again in San Antonio before going back to Los Angeles. There will be a day off between games. Will James put on his clothes this time?
Here’s what we know about the player who has scored the most points all-time for Friday’s game.
Is Lebron James Playing Vs. Spurs Tonight?
The medical report for Los Angeles’ game against San Antonio on December 15 has not been made public yet, so it is not known if James will be able to play on Friday night.
A medical report for the Lakers for the past month has shown that James has a contusion in his left leg. He got hurt the first time on November 10 when Kevin Durant kneed him in the shin by accident.
Last season, James missed 27 games for the Lakers. So far this season, he has only missed two of their first 25 games. He missed the game against Portland on November 12 because of the same sore calf.
