LeBron James Takes Part In Shootaround
8 months agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) was seen on the court shooting free throws during morning shootaround before Tuesday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. It's certainly a good sign for James' possible availability, but there's a chance he'll remain listed as questionable all the way up until pregame warmups. Tuesday's contest doesn't tip off until 10:30 PM, leaving the 38-year-old future Hall of Famer's status potentially up in the air through the bulk of the slate. James bruised his left calf early in Thursday's game and was seen getting his leg treated in that one, eventually missing Sunday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. The Lakers could sit the four-time MVP for one part of their back-to-back with another game on Wednesday. The offensive-minded Rui Hachimura was the direct beneficiary of James' absence with 32 minutes against Portland, while Anthony Davis (adductor) and D'Angelo Russell (11 assists Sunday) would take on more usage if James is absent again.
