LeBron James Probable for Lakers’ Game Against Rockets on January 5th
LeBron James is managing an injury but is expected to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. The injury management status comes after recent issues with a left foot and illness. Despite these challenges, LeBron remains probable for the upcoming game against the Houston Rockets on January 5th.
What It Means
LeBron’s probable status is good news for the Lakers. He has been a key player this season, averaging 24.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game. His shooting percentages are strong too, with a field goal percentage of 50.7% and three-point percentage of 38.2%.
If LeBron plays against the Rockets, he will continue his current scoring streaks, including two games with over 30 points and multiple assists. The Lakers rely heavily on him as their top performer in many games this season. If he cannot play, Rui Hachimura or Cam Reddish may see more minutes at small forward.
