LeBron James is all set to play as he is no longer listed in the inactive list. The 41-year-old superstar notably missed the team’s 123-87 brutal Tuesday loss against the OKC Thunder due to a foot injury.
Meanwhile, Marcus Smart is now questionable to play. This marks a key status upgrade for the veteran guard.
Smart has missed the last eight games for LA due to a right ankle contusion.
In the wake of the significant absences of Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique), the Lakers can’t hope for positive injury news for both James and Smart heading to the NBA Playoffs.
Los Angeles has two more games left following the Warriors clash. The Lakers are currently 4th in the Western Conference standings with a 50-29 record.Â
