Lakers star LeBron James is questionable for tomorrow’s game against the #Sixers with left knee soreness /effusion. Talen Horton-Tucker (sprained left ankle) is also questionable, while Anthony Davis (right mid-foot sprain) and Kendrick Nunn (right knee bone bruise) are out. – 7:58 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
No Joel Embiid or James Harden on the injury report for tomorrow’s game vs the Lakers.
LeBron James is questionable for LA. – 7:40 PM
LeBron James @KingJames
My brother would be the best and right move for the Cleveland State program going forward!! There’s no question! Vikings make the move. Coach @DruOnDemand has what it takes and has the area on lock with the kids! LFG!!! – 7:34 PM
Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
LeBron James, Joel Embiid, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are within reach of 30 ppg this season. It’s rare to have 3 players average 30+ in a season. It’s only happened once in last 35 years and twice in the last 55 years.
Last time was in 2005-06, with Kobe, Iverson, and LeBron. pic.twitter.com/7U87VIKtDr5:47 PM

More on this storyline

Mike Trudell: LeBron James (knee soreness) will start tonight in Washington, alongside Westbrook, Monk, Reaves and Johnson. -via Twitter @LakersReporter / March 19, 2022
Bill Oram: LeBron James will be a game-time decision tonight in Washington, Vogel says. He is 19 points behind Karl Malone for second on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Have to wonder whether the opportunity to pass Malone in Cleveland on Tuesday factors into his availability tonight. -via Twitter @billoram / March 19, 2022
