Throughout almost the entire season, LeBron James has consistently been listed on the Los Angeles Lakers‘ injury reports. Surprisingly, despite reserving a spot, he has only missed six games out of the Lakers’ 52 season games so far. However, his presence has been impactful, sparking a recent three-game winning streak and propelling them past a >.500 record. However, as the Lakers gear up to face the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets, concerning updates have emerged from the franchise.

Presently, LeBron James finds himself on the injury report once again, labeled as questionable due to left ankle peroneal tendinopathy. Adding to the worries, Anthony Davis is also listed due to Achilles and hip problems.

In his 21st NBA season, James was recently selected for his 20th All-Star Game. However, nearly 10 days before the anticipated game, he faces uncertainty regarding participating in the high-stakes matchup against the Nuggets. Luckily, James does not shy away from challenges, often taking to court even with minor distress. However, if James fails to take the court against Denver, it could imply potential serious health concerns for the King. This could ultimately raise doubts about his availability for the upcoming All-Star Game.

If James misses the 2023-24 All-Star game, he will still hold the title of most All-Star selections in NBA history. However, his absence will undoubtedly diminish the excitement of fans worldwide, cutting the thrill of the February 18 event in half.

With four games remaining before the commencement of the All-Star festivities, LeBron James will have a sufficient window to focus on his health. During this period, fans can only hope for James to continue exceeding expectations and making appearances on the court, irrespective of what the injury list may indicate.

LeBron James and the lakers need reinforcements

As the trade deadline approaches, the Lakers have maintained an unusual silence, reminiscent of their approach last year. However, given the trajectory of their current season, a shake-up is needed. Despite public statements from LeBron James expressing focus on the existing roster, his subtle social media updates hint differently. Recent reports suggest a potential connection between the Lakers and All-Star Donovan Mitchell, shedding light on the reasons behind their reserved stance.

The Lakers believe they can secure Donovan Mitchell in the off-season. This means they won’t want to part ways with significant assets that could become even more valuable later. However, the long-term plan comes with its concerns. Pursuing Mitchell could jeopardize LeBron James’ quest for another championship before turning 40.

So far, Mitchell has shown discontent with extending his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Moreover, he has expressed a desire to compete for a title. This aligns him with the Lakers’ aspirations. However, given the chances of that transpiring and the Lakers’ history, bold moves are expected to come within hours – before the trade deadline.
