March 26, (THEWILL) – The availability of LeBron James for the Los Angeles Lakers was upgraded to questionable for their upcoming game against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
This comes after the team initially listed him as doubtful on Saturday due to a right foot tendon injury. While the Lakers are not known for playing with injury statuses, James’ upgrade to questionable is a significant development.
It means that there is a 50-50 chance he will take to the court on Sunday. However, if he does not return, he is expected to play on Wednesday in Chicago, barring any setbacks. The Lakers’ chances of making it into the West’s top eight could be significantly boosted by James being available for the final seven games of the season.
The team has been doing well since the trade deadline, with a record of 12-6, including 8-5 without James. With only one game separating seventh and eleventh place in the Western Conference, the Lakers are currently at eighth place with eight games left in the regular season.
James’ return to the court is eagerly anticipated by Lakers fans, who hope that he can help push the team up the ranks in the Western Conference. His status for Sunday’s game remains uncertain, but Lakers fans will be hoping for the best.
