NBA starting lineups tonight: Is LeBron James playing vs Dallas Mavericks? LA Lakers release abdomen injury report LA Lakers release abdomen injury report
LeBron James took the Orlando Magic to task in his previous game for the Lakers. But he’s still on the injury report for the Lakeshow.
The Lakers succumbed to their worst loss of the season not long back, succumbing to a beatdown at the FedEx Arena against a Grizzlies team without Ja Morant.
That loss seems to have cut LeBron James to the quick. The King is now in his 19th NBA season, but you wouldn’t guess that judging from the performances he’s had of late.
LeBron put the Orlando Magic and OKC Thunder to sword, reminding detractors of his true self. We don’t know how much longer we’ll see the NBA’s Deus Ex Machina will humble his opponents, but we should have all our eyes on him when he embarks on it.
Unfortunately for James, he’s missed half of the Lakers’ season with abdomen injury problems this year. They were able to win a couple of games in his absence. But it’s clear that he’s their best player in a position to do much of their grunt work.
The Lakers don’t stand a chance if James isn’t displaying MVP-caliber form, night in and night out. And it seems James has realized this truth, and is pushing to fulfil that particular role.
NBA starting lineups tonight: Is LeBron James playing vs Dallas Mavericks?
The Lakers have placed LeBron James on their injury report for tonight’s clash against the Dallas Mavericks. LeBron has been deemed probable for the game to come, but it’s clear that his abdomen issue might flare up any time.
Howard and Horton-Tucker did not travel with the team to Dallas.
Monk was on the flight, however. The Lakers are making arrangements to get him back to Los Angeles safely. https://t.co/yk0r6XWbcp

No THT (and possibly no AD) for the Lakers and the Mavs won’t have Luka. https://t.co/GIdiq8wXSM

It is clear that ESPN bet on the wrong game to be a national TV draw tonight, at this point. Covid has ravaged quite a sizeable chunk of this year’s schedule already.
