When the Los Angeles Lakers play the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, they will have another game that they absolutely must win.
LeBron James, their great forward, might not be available, though. James has a left ankle issue, which is classified as questionable on the Lakers injury report. vias X was posted by Lakers writer Mike Trudell. It seemed like James sustained more damage to his left ankle during last Wednesday’s game against the King. Before the game ended, he headed to the locker room.
The 39-year-old was forced to miss Friday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks because to that. However, he felt well enough to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. James’ absence would be greatly felt, particularly when the Lakers play the Kings, with whom they have had difficulty the last two seasons.
The Lakers need to win this game in order to get one step closer to a top-six berth. It appears like superstar Anthony Davis of the Laker team will be playing.
Colin Castleton, Christian Wood, Gabe Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt, Cam Reddish, and Gabe Vincent are the five Laker players who are out.
