LeBron James (groin) is considered questionable for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The four-time MVP is managing a groin injury, which sidelined him for seven games last month. Since his return to the lineup, James has played in all nine games.
Luka Doncic (groin) and
Austin Reaves (ankle) are also iffy for Tuesday's game, meaning players such as
Jordan Goodwin and
Dalton Knecht may have much larger roles to play.

LeBron James (groin) is available for Sunday's meeting with OKC. The Lakers are hoping to lock up the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference. However, Los Angeles has a tough task on the horizon versus arguably the best team in the National Basketball Association. With that in mind, James struggled the last time he faced the Thunder back in November, finishing with only 12 points while committing five turnovers.

LeBron James (groin) is considered probable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. James is set for another head-to-head battle against
Stephen Curry despite being on the injury report with a left groin strain, which sidelined the Lakers superstar for seven games last month. Since returning, James has struggled with his shooting, going 43.4 percent from the field to average 18.7 points per game. He will attempt to regain form against a team that has struggled to contain him this season. Over three meetings with the Warriors, James has posted 32.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 10.0 assists with 57.1 percent three-point shooting.

LeBron James (groin) will play in Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. He has been upgraded from probable to available. This will be James' sixth consecutive appearance since returning from a groin strain. The four-time NBA champion has not reached his usual high standards since coming back, averaging 19.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists. James' scoring has been hampered by his poor 43.7 percent shooting efficiency. On Monday, James will face the league's fourth-most efficient defense, which may again hinder his offensive impact.
