After a fantastic win against the Nuggets on Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers are getting ready to take on the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. The last time these two teams met, the Lakers couldn’t come out on top.
This time, they will exert a significant effort to level the score, particularly with Luka Doncic currently rolling and winning matches. But the big question is, will LeBron James play tonight?
LeBron James has been out for 8 days since his initial groin injury, and it seems like he might miss a few more games. The Lakers are being very cautious with his recovery. Itlooks like the star forward might officially be out for tonight’s game, though there’s still no official word on whether he’ll play.

This report indicates it was more than likely a Grade I strain which usually comes with a 1-2 week healing period

Reports say that while LeBron is making progress, he’s not expected to return for at least another week. His absence tonight is a big blow to the Lakers, but they remain hopeful. The team has been winning without him, with Luka Dončić stepping up to lead both offensively and defensively.
Dr. Evan Jeffries gave a possible update on LeBron’s return. He believes LeBron might be back for the Lakers’ 34th game against the Magic or their 26th game against the Pacers.

He said, “I don’t run and hide. If I’m wrong, I’ll say I’m wrong. If I’m right, I’ll say I’m right,’ he said. ‘I was never sh***ing on Bronny James. I wouldn’t do that to the James family. I was talking about one person, and one person only. We may never speak in life again – I’m fine with it. ”
He also mentioned that he has his own views on the GOAT, preferring Michael Jordan over LeBron.
