LeBron James' state of play vs. the Knicks
Given his questionable designation on the injury report, there is currently some doubt as to whether LeBron James will be able to play against New York on Sunday. James missed the Lakers' last game, Friday night, against the Indiana Pacers, for the same reason and has already missed being eligible for the All-NBA team this year.
Along with James, the injury report for the Lakers also includes wing Maxi Kleber, who is questionable with a lumbar back strain, as well as his son Bronny James, who is out due to dealing with the G-League.
For the Knicks, Landry Shamet is questionable for this game due to a cervical sprain.
The Knicks are coming into this game flying high, having defeated the Denver Nuggets the last time they took the floor this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Lakers have been picking up some wins against lesser competition in recent weeks, but lost to the same Nuggets team the night before the Knicks destroyed them, which is certainly not a good look as both teams are now set to match up.
Luka Doncic continues to put up monster stat lines on a nightly basis for the Lakers, but the fit between him, Austin Reaves and LeBron James has been put into further question now that all three players are relatively healthy.
Still, Lakers fans will expect James to be on the court on Sunday at 3:30 PM ET.
