More news: LeBron James Gets Big News Following Lakers’ Five-Game Trip

James has yet to play this season as he continues not to deal with sciatica on his right side, while Vincent has not played since late October due to a left ankle sprain. 

The 40-year-old superstar practiced with the Lakers for the first time this season on Monday. James recently returned from a G League stint during which he was able to get extra practice while the Lakers were on their five-game road trip.

A "TBD" tag for both James and Vincent suggests they are listed, at best, as questionable.

The 21-time All-Star looked great and moved well in his recent sessions. James is inching closer to making his season debut, and it appears that Tuesday's match is a realistic one. If not, James will make his debut either on Sunday against the Jazz, on the road, or on Tuesday, Nov. 25, against the Los Angeles Clippers.

As things stand, Redick is keeping his cards close to his vest, not only with James but also with Vincent. The 29-year-old guard traveled with the team during their four-game road trip.

He started off the season a bit shaky, averaging 3.7 points per game, 2.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds while shooting 23.1 percent from the field and 20 percent from three. His absence has not been felt as much as James', but LA has still been without a key piece to its rotation for most of the season thus far.
