Lakers Reveal LeBron James' Injury Status vs. Utah Jazz

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is being listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game vs. the Utah Jazz. This is the front half of a back to back for the Lakers, as they play a crucial game against the LA Clippers on Wednesday night.

While there is a chance that James plays in both games of this back to back set, there is also the possibility that the Lakers decide to rest him against Utah in order to have him fresh for the big game against the Clippers on Wednesday. Both of these games are important for the Lakers, as every game counts for them at this point in the season, but Wednesday’s game against the Clippers has a chance to determine everything in the standings for both LA teams.

If the Lakers win on Tuesday, they will have identical records with the Clippers entering Wednesday night's showdown. The Utah Jazz are likely ready to accept their fate as one of the teams that will finish on the outside of the play-in tournament, so they could rest players on Tuesday night as well. Star forward Lauri Markkanen is being listed as questionable, as is Collin Sexton. Walker Kessler, Rudy Gay, and Jordan Clarkson are all out for Utah.

As previously mentioned, there is a chance that the Lakers have James available for both Tuesday and Wednesday night; however, they could also hold him out against Utah in order to have him fresh and available for Wednesday night against the Clippers. As of right now, James is being listed as questionable against the Jazz.
