The Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham’s statements are usually a puzzle. Some of them make sense. But at most times, his statements evoke a feeling that even he does not fully mean or understand them. Like, take his recent one for example. The background is that LeBron James had missed a previous game and was questionable for Tuesday’s match-up against the Memphis Grizzlies.

When he was asked about James’ participation in the game, all he had to say was a cryptic message that left many fans wondering. It leaves many to think that the tags on a player’s status are sketchy.

Ham’s reply to LeBron playing in the game

LeBron has been sidelined due to a calf injury he sustained during the winning match against the Phoenix Suns. Now, as the Lakers face the Grizzlies tonight, Ham shared that the veteran’s participation is a “true gametime decision”. 

With no proper confirmation, it leaves many wondering about the Lakers’ game plan. Will it be as unreliable as Ham telling fans that they will restrict Bron only to take it back the very next game? Can we expect the 4-time champion to possibly play? So many questions with absolutely no answers. 

So, will James play on Tuesday night?

The answer is… yes. According to Trevor Lane, Host of LakersNation and frontofficeshow, the 38-year-old is a part of the starting line-up. While Darvin Ham chose to confuse people, we are glad someone was able to clear the kerfuffle. 

The King is playing in his 21st season in the NBA and tonight’s match will be his 1431st match. Throughout his long and iconic career, James has been playing at his best, accumulating 38,879 points. Despite being the oldest person playing in the league right now, Bron continues to lead the team with his impressive numbers.

Besides being the key contributor to the Lakers, he is also a mentor of sorts, taking younger players like Austin Reaves and Cam Reddish under his wing. On the hardwood, he is a master playmaker who involves his teammates, giving them insights on how to ultimately make the hoop.

By doing so, LeBron is ensuring that the Lakers can still carry themselves on their own with little help from him.
