LeBron James’ status for the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Utah Jazz is up in the air.
James is listed as “questionable” on the injury report. This is due to left foot injury management. His availability will be determined before the game.
Lakers’ Playoff Seeding on the Line
The Los Angeles Lakers will conclude their regular season at home against the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. This will be the fourth meeting between the two teams this season. The Lakers have won all three previous contests.
The Lakers have something to play for against the Jazz.
If the Lakers defeat Utah and the Denver Nuggets lose to the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers will move past Denver in the standings. This would secure the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. If not, they will remain in the fourth seed.
James’ Impact This Season
James has played in 59 games for L.A. this season. He has averaged 21.0 points, 7.2 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.
The Lakers have to hope that James will be available.
His final status will be determined prior to tipoff.
