Los Angeles Lakers PF LeBron James is dealing with an ankle injury that has him on the report heading into Friday night vs. the Charlotte Hornets. The Lakers will also be in action this weekend on Christmas Day vs. Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. We're going to break down and update you on LeBron's status for Friday night vs. the Hornets.
LeBron James injury updates
James is being listed as probable to play in Friday night's game vs. the Hornets due to the ankle injury. So it seems James will be OK to play. He hasn't really been missing any games, it seems the Lakers add him to these reports in case they want to rest him. Might we see James get some rest heading into X-Mas Day? It's a possibility but we'd at least get a heads up prior to tip-off at 10:30 p.m. ET.
