The Los Angeles Lakers could not catch a grip of themselves in their previous game against the Denver Nuggets, without LeBron James, who was ruled out due to left knee soreness. Ahead o the hyped matchup against Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks which begins the 5-game home stretch for Purple and Gold, know all about the injury status of LeBron James.
Given that the LA Lakers are just a couple of wins behind the 5th seed in the Western Conference standings, it seems like LeBron James’ rest was just for one game as he will be raring to take center stage at home. This match will also officially start the second half of the regular season games for Darvin Ha’s team. So, it does look like Bron needs to throw the kitchen sink at acquiring a playoff berth for his team, in this period.
Los Angeles Lakers beat writer Dan Woike of the LA Times reports that 38-year-old veteran, LeBron James has officially been tagged as probable for Thursday’s matchup. Moreover, the likes of Troy Brown Jr. could also feature in this contest as Patrick Beverley has been listed as questionable due to right hip soreness.
For those who have any doubts about the inclusion of the 4-time NBA Champion in the next game, let me make you aware that LeBron has played through the questionable tag multiple times this season, so the probable designation bodes well for his chances to take the floor on Thursday Night against Luka Doncic.
Will the Lakers be able to register another impressive win against the side led by the greatest European prospect of modern-day? Remains to be seen.
