There’s a big game happening this Monday between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic. However, there’s some uncertainty with LeBron James’ availability due to an injury. The game will take place in California.
LeBron James is expected to suit up for the upcoming game, as he’s listed as probable despite being injured. According to Underdog NBA, the basketball superstar has an ankle injury and could still play on Monday. Despite this setback, James has played in all of the team’s previous games, and his stats have been impressive with an average of 23.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. His field goal percentage is at 57.1%, while his three-point shot accuracy is at 29.4%. The Lakers’ current record stands at 1-2 following a loss to the Sacramento Kings with a score of 132-127.
In 39 minutes of play, James managed to rack up a total of 27 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists. He had a successful shooting performance, going 11/19 from the field and 3/8 from beyond the arc. The Los Angeles Lakers finished last season with a record of 43-39 and were the seventh seed in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, they were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals after four games. Despite this setback, James has been with the team for six seasons and led them to victory in the NBA Championship against the Miami Heat in 2020. They are expected to face off against the Los Angeles Clippers next, following their game against the Magic. Speaking of the Magic, they currently have a record of 2-0 and recently beat the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 102-97 in Oregon. Franz Wagner was the star of the game, finishing with an impressive 23 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 35 minutes of play.
After a lackluster performance with a 34-48 record, the Magic were once again knocked out of the NBA playoffs for the third year in a row. As a result, they secured the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference.
