LeBron James and co. will look to win their first game of the season, at home no less. But they face Damian Lillard and the Trailblazers. 

The Los Angeles Lakers have been pitiful to watch this season. They have started 0-2 and their form looks horrendous. Darvin Ham has talked a lot about culture and defense. While sure they might be more defensively sound, their atrocious shooting is bringing them down.

Players are taking ill-timed and contested shots. Even open looks are going as misses, sometimes as air balls. You start to wonder what is happening with this team.

LeBron James and co. have been trying their best and will look to win their first game, at home no less. So the question in everyone’s mind is, will LeBron James play?

As per the latest Lakers injury report, LeBron is listed as probable with a left-foot soreness as the cause. Of course, we can’t expect him to healthy all the time. And as he is turning 38 later this year, he is bound to face issues.

It is likely that LeBron will indeed feature in the game. Apart from him, even Anthony Davis is listed as probable. Russell Westbrook will likely play the full game.
