Mon Feb 1220:34LeBron James, Anthony Davis Land On Injury Report
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. There is no shock here as both James and Davis are regulars on the injury report. The Lakers seem to list them as questionable ahead of basically every game. Usually, James and Davis are able to suit up, but both players are playing through issues right now. If they sit, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes would see increased roles in the rotation.

Sun Feb 423:04LeBron James Tagged As Questionable Against Hornets
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been listed as questionable again for their Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. While James was unable to play two games ago against the Boston Celtics, he played 40 minutes against the New York Knicks on Saturday. With a heavy workload in that game, the Lakers could decide to let him rest in this one against a weaker opponent. Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) is also listed as questionable, however, so they may still need James on the floor. Fantasy managers will want to check back in for any updates as the game gets closer. If James can't suit up, Austin Reaves and Taurean Prince would see some heavy minutes while Rui Hachimura would get some more action too.

Sat Feb 320:06LeBron James, Anthony Davis Active On Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both active ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both players are back in the mix after sitting out of Thursday's contest. The return of these players means that Jaxson Hayes will head back to the bench. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) was starting for James, but he suffered an injury during Thursday's game. As a result, Vanderbilt will miss time, which should mean more minutes for Rui Hachimura and Hayes in the rotation. Fantasy managers can get James and Davis back in their lineups for Saturday.

Fri Feb 221:47LeBron James Won't Be Traded, Per Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. But the biggest story surrounding the multi-time MVP isn't his health but whether he'll remain a Laker. Recent reports have surfaced suggesting he could be on his way out of Los Angeles. However, his agent, Rich Paul, shot down those rumors, stating, "LeBron won't be traded, and we aren't asking to be." Of course, anything is certainly possible, especially with Los Angeles struggling to remain in the playoff conversation. Yet, as long as James remains on the floor, which has been a challenge over the last few years, he should continue to be a valuable asset for any fantasy manager, no matter what uniform he's wearing moving ahead.

Fri Feb 218:21LeBron James Listed As Questionable For Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. The veteran forward was forced to miss Thursday's game due to an ankle injury. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) drew the start in his absence, but Vanderbilt wasn't able to make it through the game without getting injured. Now, Vanderbilt is expected to miss time, which means the Lakers could be thin at the forward spot for this game. Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes could be asked to play big roles if James sits out on Saturday.

Thu Feb 118:33LeBron James Out Against Boston
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is out for Thursday's contest against the Boston Celtics. Thursday's clash between two storied franchises has lost plenty of luster, with the Lakers also ruling out co-superstar Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) against the Celtics. Dealing with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, King James sets his sights toward returning for Saturday's battle with the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves should orchestrate L.A.'s offense and experience big jumps in usage on Thursday, but this game has a chance to get out of hand. Reaves dropped a season-high 28 points with Davis out of action in Tuesday's defeat to the Atlanta Hawks, while Russell is running hot with averages of 25.2 points, 6.1 assists, and 4.3 three-pointers on 48.3% shooting from deep over his last 10 games.

Sat Jan 2709:51LeBron James Questionable For Saturday's Action
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) continues to carry a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Saturday's battle with the Warriors. He missed his fifth game of the season on Tuesday against the Clippers but returned to the court Thursday versus Portland and should have a good chance of featuring on Saturday. However, if he isn't good to go, Rui Hachimura will likely fill in for James again in the starting unit. He produced an 11-point outing in 30 minutes against the Clippers. In seven starts across the entire season, Hachimura has posted 13.0 points with 3.7 rebounds.

Fri Jan 2611:49LeBron James Posts Double-Double In Return
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James returned from his one-game absence due to an ankle injury on Thursday, posting 25 points, four rebounds, and 12 assists in the team's 141-132 win over the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers were on fire from the floor, putting up 112 points in three quarters and shooting over 60 percent for the game. Significant support from D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves is essential to the team's success this year, and each scored at least 20 points in this game. James is averaging 24.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in 34 minutes per game this season.

Thu Jan 2511:14LeBron James Questionable Thursday Against Bulls
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable for the team's game against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. The 39-year-old missed their last game against the Clippers with the same ankle injury, marking his fifth missed game this season. Rui Hachimura started in place of James on Tuesday, and he, along with Taurean Prince, would be in line for more significant roles if James misses again on Thursday. He is averaging 24.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.3 assists in 34 minutes per game this season.

Wed Jan 2420:48LeBron James Listed As Questionable For Thursday's Game
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. James was held out of Tuesday's contest and remains on the injury report heading into Thursday. The fact James is on the injury report really shouldn't shock anyone. James has been a regular on the injury report all season long. His absence on Tuesday resulted in Taurean Prince drawing the start. He put together a decent night, but isn't a must-have streaming option. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Thursday for another update on his status.

Mon Jan 2221:10LeBron James Ruled Out For Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This looks like a rest game for the veteran forward who has been playing through an ankle issue. Taurean Prince has been removed from the injury report and figures to move into the starting five. Both Prince and Rui Hachimura are likely to see a boost in value with James sidelined on Tuesday.

Fri Jan 1912:49LeBron James Questionable Friday Against Nets
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is officially questionable to play in the team's Friday night game at home against the Nets. Despite typically entering games with the questionable tag, the Lakers' star has only missed four games this year and should have a good chance to suit up. With the Lakers being off last night and tomorrow, James likely will give it a go on Friday. If he doesn't end up playing, Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura would most likely step in for expanded minutes.

Wed Jan 1720:42LeBron James, Anthony Davis Available On Wednesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (ankle) are both available for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both players were uncertain coming into this game, but that seems to be normal these days. As usual, James and Davis will both be active for this game despite the injury tags. The expectation is that they will have their normal roles in the rotation, so fantasy managers can feel comfortable with them in their lineups.

Mon Jan 1521:25LeBron James Available On Monday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward came into this game as questionable due to a lingering ankle issue. Despite that, James will make his return to the court after a one-game absence. James will resume his role in the starting five and should play his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting James back in their lineups on Monday.

Sun Jan 1421:44LeBron James Questionable To Play Against Thunder
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has received another questionable tag ahead of the Monday night contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward was unable to play in their last game against the Utah Jazz on Saturday and the Lakers suffered a seven-point loss. Out of the last 149 games James was listed as questionable, he's played in 79% of them, so he has a higher chance of taking the floor in an important game against a playoff team. If he's unable to play, D'Angelo Russell took his place in the starting five against the Jazz, so he'd likely move into that spot again. Russell did a good job in his place with 39 points, eight assists, three rebounds, one steal, and two blocks.

Sat Jan 1317:40LeBron James Won't Play On Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) isn't available for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz. The multi-time MVP logged 24 minutes in Thursday's blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns, ending the night with 10 points off a rough 3-for-11 shooting. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle in that one, so his absence could extend into Monday's meeting with OKC. That said, Anthony Davis (ankle) is the favorite to lead the team in scoring without James on the floor. At the same time, Austin Reaves and Taurean Prince could see a significant increase in scoring chances, even more so if D'Angelo Russell (knee) isn't in the lineup.

Mon Jan 821:41LeBron James Questionable For Tuesday's Game
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as James seems to be a regular on the injury report. Despite that, James continues to suit up and that should continue on Tuesday. If he sits, Jarred Vanderbilt figures to move into the starting five. Fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday, but James should be fine for this game.

Sat Jan 620:55LeBron James Holds Questionable Tag For Sunday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar forward seems to be a regular on the injury report now. It's worth noting that James has only missed three games all season, so it takes quite a bit for him to actually sit out. If James does sit, Rui Hachimura figures to move into the starting five. He'd have more streaming appeal in the starting unit, but doesn't hold a ton of value behind James on the depth chart.

Thu Jan 420:46LeBron James Tagged As Questionable For Friday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unsurprisingly, James is back on the injury report, but this time with an ankle injury. The superstar forward was able to play through an illness on Wednesday. However, his availability for Wednesday remains uncertain because an ankle injury is a bit more serious an a illness. If he sits, Max Christie and Christian Wood would see increased playing time. Between the two, Christie is the better streaming option. Also, Anthony Davis (ankle) would be asked to carry the team on offense if James sits out. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update on his status.

Wed Jan 315:20LeBron James Participates In Shootaround
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (illness), who is listed as questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Miami Heat, was present at morning shootaround ahead of the action. It puts James on the probable side of the questionable marker, but his official game status could ultimately come down to a game-time decision based on how he feels after pregame warmups. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer has done a great job of staying on the court in his age-39 campaign, sporadically missing just three games. James has settled for fewer jump shots and gotten back to driving more in 2023-24, shooting a career-high 40.9% from downtown and 53.5% from the field for his best mark since joining the Lakers in 2018-19. If James surprisingly can't suit up against his former Heat team, Anthony Davis (ankle) and Austin Reaves would run the show offensively.
