There's no chance that LeBron James would miss this matchup against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. It's the first time that LeBron James and Steph Curry are facing off in the NBA Playoffs since the 2018 NBA Finals. Yes, they faced during the play-in tournament in 2021, but that doesn't necessarily count as a playoff matchup.
