The Los Angeles Lakers are set to face the Washington Wizards, but they might be without one of their star players. LeBron James is listed as questionable due to left foot injury management, leaving uncertainty about whether he will play. With Anthony Davis sidelined for the next week due to an abdominal injury, the Lakers will need all their available players to compensate for his absence.

The Lakers lost their last game against the Philadelphia 76ers after Davis went down early, leaving LeBron to try to lead the team. If both Davis and James are unavailable, it will be a challenging situation for the Lakers, regardless of their opponent.

LeBron James’ injury status vs. Wizards

LeBron James is currently listed as questionable for the game against the Wizards, and his status is still up in the air. With Davis out, James may play to help boost the Lakers’ chances. When both James and Davis are on the floor together, the Lakers are in their best position to win, but without one of them, securing a victory becomes more difficult.

Amid several injuries and with head coach JJ Redick seeking a spark for the team, he chose to bring in Bronny James during the first quarter of the game against the 76ers. Afterward, LeBron expressed his thoughts on his son getting extended playing time with the team.

“Obviously, it’s his first significant minutes with us,” LeBron said via ESPN. “We had that first game where it was just a moment — and that was a great moment. But tonight was his first opportunity to play with the big guys, and he’s going to continue to grow and improve from this experience.”

With the trade deadline approaching, it will be interesting to see if the Lakers make moves to improve the roster. Both James and Davis have mentioned that the team is just a few pieces away from being serious contenders, and they might look to maximize their championship window. The frontcourt is an area of focus, with players like Nikola Vucevic, Jonas Valanciunas, and Myles Turner reportedly on their radar.
