LeBron James was unable to seal the Los Angeles Lakers’ 130-120 loss against the Sacramento Kings. The four-time NBA champion had to quit the game late in the fourth quarter due to ankle pain.
The Lakers will face Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, and LeBron’s availability for this high-profile game is presently uncertain. At this moment, the biggest issue is if LeBron James will play tonight against the Bucks.
LeBron James Questionable to Play Vs. Milwaukee Bucks
The Lakers’ most valuable player could be missing Friday’s game against the Bucks. This comes after LeBron was listed as questionable to play with a left ankle injury.
This must be taken with a grain of salt, however. James has been questionable several times in recent weeks, including Wednesday’s game against the Kings, but has mostly played through his injury.
The NBA’s all-time top scorer last missed a game on February 22, when the Lakers returned from their All-Star break.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Also Listed on Injury Report
It’s worth remembering that Milwaukee’s big superstar is also on the injured list. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to play despite an Achilles injury. The former back-to-back MVP fought despite the injury in Wednesday’s crushing loss to the Golden State Warriors, and the same should be true on Friday in Los Angeles.
The answer to the question of whether LeBron James will play tonight against the Bucks remains unknown at this time.
