Preview:
The Los Angeles Lakers will face a challenge on Sunday when they travel to Arizona to face the Phoenix Suns, who hold the NBA’s best record.
According to L.A.’s injury report, LeBron James is still questionable to play due to a left knee ailment.
James has been dealing with a troublesome left knee for several weeks now. He missed Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs as a result, and he had previously missed five consecutive games when the knee swelled up.
Starting Time:
The Phoenix Suns have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers and are hoping to record their first win since March 2 of 2019. The Suns are on the road again on Tuesday and play against Los Angeles at 10 p.m. ET March 2 at Staples Center. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
But the four-time MVP showed no ill effects of the knee ailment on Friday, as he scored 50 points on white-hot shooting to drive the Lakers to an easy win over the Washington Wizards.
The NBA community took to social media to marvel at what James was able to do despite being 37 years of age and playing heavy minutes.
