LeBron James’ Injury Status for Warriors-Lakers

The Golden State Warriors wrap up their six-game road trip on Thursday as they take on the Los Angeles Lakers. Golden State enters the matchup riding a three-game winning streak and has won seven of its last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Lakers have also been in solid form, winning two straight and six of their last 10. With Los Angeles just two games ahead of Golden State in the Western Conference standings, this showdown carries significant playoff implications.

However, the Lakers could be without their superstar forward, LeBron James, as he appears on the team’s injury report. James is listed as probable with a left groin strain but is expected to suit up for the crucial game.

James has played in six consecutive games since returning from a groin injury that sidelined him for seven straight contests. His presence is a major boost for the Lakers, who are nearing full strength for Thursday’s battle. The 40-year-old veteran is putting up impressive numbers this season, averaging 24.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.4 assists, and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 51.0% from the field and 37.4% from beyond the arc.

The Lakers have been in top form recently, fueled by their new star duo of James and Luka Dončić, while Austin Reaves has also emerged as a key contributor. They will now go head-to-head with a Warriors squad led by Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler in a high-stakes matchup that could impact playoff positioning.

Fans can catch the action live from Los Angeles at 10:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
