LeBron James Won't Suit Up On Sunday
1 year agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) has been ruled out against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night. James first suffered the calf contusion in the team's win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday and was originally listed as questionable, but has since been downgraded as they'll take on a tanking Trail Blazers team who has also been hit by the injury bug. Since they'll be without three starters and they're backup center, the Lakers probably decided to play it safe with James. While he's out, Rui Hachimura and Christian Wood should both see added minutes and can serve as solid streaming options. Anthony Davis will likely see a lot of minutes as well.
