LeBron James' Injury Status for Lakers vs. Nuggets Game 4 Revealed
It's officially do-or-die time for the Los Angeles Lakers. A loss against the Denver Nuggets tonight would officially have them eliminated from the NBA Playoffs. LeBron James is listed on the injury report, but fans should expect him to play.
The Los Angeles Lakers have officially listed LeBron James as probable for Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals with right foot soreness. He's been listed with the same injury report all playoffs and played in every single game. Obviously, there were some scares during this series against the Nuggets, but that hasn't seemed to have affected him greatly.
If the Lakers want to have any chance of surviving against the Denver Nuggets, they're going to need a vintage LeBron James performance. LeBron has shown he's capable of that in moments against the Memphis Grizzlies, but that was two series ago. At this point, it wouldn't be presumptuous to say that LeBron James is a lot more tired now than he was against the Memphis Grizzlies.
For the Nuggets, it seems pretty clear that the X-factor is Jamal Murray. The Lakers have been unable to contain Murray for two straight games, and for those two games, he single-handedly had spurts that resulted in wins for the Nuggets.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets face off in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals tonight at 8:30 ET.
