Since 9th January, Darvin Ham’s boys have suffered losses against the Nuggets, the Mavericks, the Sixers, and the Domantas Sabonis-less Kings. Having gone 4-1 in the past few games, the California-based franchise is in desperate need of a win.
With LAL playing against the Grizzlies as their final clash of the 5-game homestand, let’s have a look at whether the King will be suiting up tonight or not.

Yes, questionable doesn’t sound as promising. However, in all probabilities, we might see the 4-time MVP suit up.
However, playing against Ja Morant and co., who are on an 11-game win streak, it is going to be extremely difficult for Bron to grab a win.
Seeing the shorthanded Lakers take on the in-form Grizzlies will not be a sweet sight for any LAL supporter.
