76ers vs. Lakers: LeBron James’ Playing Status on Monday

Returning home after a multi-game road trip, the Philadelphia 76ers are set to host the Los Angeles Lakers for the first and only time this season.

Heading into the matchup, the Lakers added a handful of players to their injury report, including the superstar LeBron James.

Per LA’s injury report, James was questionable with a left calf contusion. This season, LeBron has appeared in all but one of the Lakers’ 17 games. His latest absence came against the Portland Trail Blazers on November 12. Since then, James has averaged 32 minutes on the floor across the Lakers’ last seven games. During that time, he produced 26 points per game, along with seven rebounds and eight assists per game.

The streak of James' availability will continue on Monday, as the former first-overall pick has been cleared for action and is available to play for LA.

Beyond James, the Lakers listed Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura, Cam Reddish, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Gabe Vincent on the injury report. Vanderbilt and Vincent were ruled out in advance as they dealt with lower-body setbacks. Rui Hachimura is also expected to miss his second-straight game as he deals with a nasal fracture.

As for Cam Reddish and Anthony Davis, their statuses were up in the air. Reddish was questionable with a groin strain heading into the matchup. Meanwhile, Davis was probable to play as he deals with multiple minor setbacks.

As expected, Davis will get the nod to play on Monday night. Cam Reddish, however, will remain off the floor for the Lakers for the time being.

The Sixers and the Lakers are set to battle it out at 7:00 PM ET.
