LeBron James is questionable for the LA Lakers’ next game against his former team, the Miami Heat 

At the Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers will be playing as hosts to the Miami Heat. The fans will undoubtedly be anticipating this year’s rematch between the two. The Lakers, who have won their last two games, have only lost to the Heat since the start of the new year. Conversely, the Miami Heat have revived their season, winning 4 of their last 5 games but there lies a doubt about LeBron James whether he is playing or not. 

LeBron James will be attempting to build on his recent 40-point outburst, which he has done twice. The Lakers have struggled without Anthony Davis, so it won’t come as a surprise if they lose once more. The only positive is that Davis is improving and will shortly begin training for basketball.

Why is LeBron James listed as questionable for the game against Miami Heat? 

Even without Anthony Davis, the four-time MVP is still giving the Lakers his best effort. Even if Davis is improving, he won’t play for the Lakers. King LeBron James is classified as doubtful for the Miami Heat game and as day-to-day. He will most likely play against his previous team, in our opinion.

The injuries to Russell Westbrook and Lonnie Walker IV will also be a problem for the Lakers. Dewayne Dedmon, Nikola Jovic, and Omer Yurtseven won’t be available to the Heat.

Without Anthony Davis, the Lakers are a whole different club. But the Heat will be the favourites coming into the game merely because Lonnie Walker IV and Russell Westbrook’s injuries have left the Lakers shorthanded at the moment. Despite having their own injury issues, the Heat has enough strength to prevail. LeBron is still capable of great performance, but the Lakers have no defensive options.
