LeBron James vs. Celtics
Being just 158 points away from surpassing Kareem Abdul Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, know the actual injury status of LeBron James ahead of the LA Lakers’ first game on the road, in a 5-games on a road trip, against the Boston Celtics.
In a rivalry that has stolen the headline for decades, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook are some of the stars of the Los Angeles Lakers who will be taking center stage at TD Garden against Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown-led Boston Celtics. Given that the latter is the best team of the 2022-23 season, know if the 38-year-old beast will be a part of the festivity on the court.
As always Lakers have tagged LeBron James as questionable to play. This is a scenario that we have noticed in multiple games in the current season. LeBron James is often on the court whenever he has been ruled ‘questionable’ by the Purple and Gold.
The four-time NBA Champion and 19-time NBA All-Star has struggled with a sore ankle and is even found holding his ankle on the court yet it hasn’t stopped him from leading Darvin Ham’s side on the offensive end.
What’s the best part? If James does indeed decide to play in this game, he will have a relatively better scoring chance by charging at the rim as the reigning DPOY Marcus Smart and Danilo Gallinari have both been ruled out of this particular game on Saturday.
