A win on Tuesday would move the Lakers, who are currently in fifth place in the Western Conference with a 39-25 record, past the Timberwolves in the standings.<\/p>\n<p>LeBron James has missed the Lakers&#8217; last two games due to an elbow ailment he sustained on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets, as well as left foot arthritis. His elbow ailment has reportedly healed, but he&#8217;s still listed as questionable for Tuesday&#8217;s contest because of his left foot condition, as well as a hip contusion.<\/p>\n<p>Without him on Sunday, L.A.&#8217;s offense was a bit rough, as the team shot 43.2% from the field. But it played some of its best defense of the season and held the Knicks to 42.7% overall shooting and 23.5% from 3-point range while forcing 19 turnovers.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Los Angeles has won five of its last six games.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on LeBron Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/lebronwire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nba\/2026\/03\/09\/injury-report-for-lebron-james-lakers-versus-timberwolves-on-tuesday\/89076510007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Injury report for LeBron James, Lakers versus Timberwolves on Tuesday;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Injury report for LeBron James, Lakers versus Timberwolves on Tuesday&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Injury report for LeBron James, Lakers versus Timberwolves on Tuesday<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After defeating the New York Knicks on Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers will have another big game on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,8095,187,69272,185,150,152,6,191,574],"class_list":["post-650005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-basketball","tag-dave-mcmenamin","tag-denver-nuggets","tag-hip-contusion","tag-lebron-james","tag-los-angeles-lakers","tag-minnesota-timberwolves","tag-nba","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-western-conference"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116202551680105957","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
