LeBron James Speaks on Status vs. Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James played 38 minutes in Tuesday night's overtime win against the Utah Jazz. With the way the Lakers are positioned in the standings, this was a crucial game for them to win, especially after they choked away a big lead in the last two minutes of regulation.

Set to face the Clippers tomorrow on the last half of a back to back, the status of LeBron James is uncertain due to his heavy workload in the overtime victory tonight. When asked about tomorrow's game after Tuesday night's win, James said, "I'm thinking about getting my body prepared mentally for tomorrow. Then when tomorrow comes, we'll see what happens."

James also said he is considering putting his feet in an ice bucket after playing 38 minutes for the first time in a long time. Tomorrow’s Lakers vs. Clippers game is massive, as the two teams will enter this matchup with identical records. The Clippers have already clinched the tiebreaker over the Lakers, having won their first three games against their hallway rivals this season. With the two teams tied in the standings right now, the Clippers do get the edge due to the tiebreaker, but tomorrow’s game will create a game of separation one way or the other.

For now, all of the focus will be on whether or not LeBron James is available to play.
