The Lakers star will not play due to left ankle soreness
The Lakers already had a tough meeting against them the Denver Nuggets, the Top. 1 seed in the Western. Now, it just got much, much more powerful. Without James, the Club will have to work hard together to battle the best team in the Western.
The LA Lakers didn’t win Without the reigning Western Player of the Week in the lineup. In the last week’s game, winning against the Heat. It was a true team working together, led by Dennis Schröder, Thomas Bryant, and Westbrook. All three players will be expected to play tonight, so they’ll need to have the same performances if the LA Lakers want a shot at the upset and to continue their season-high winning streak to six games.
LeBron James unexpectedly played in the second game of a back-to-back this weekend against the Sacramento Kings. He looked fine in the game and led the Lakers to another upset victory. But you have to wonder if his decision to play in that game ultimately led him to be sidelined tonight.
On Top of LeBron being out, the Lakers will also be without Anthony Davis (although they did get a good update on him on Monday), Austin Reaves, Lonnie Walker IV, and Troy Brown Jr.
The Lakers still have yet to lose in 2023, but they will have their work cut out if they want to continue that trend on Monday.
