LeBron James (foot) to return Wednesday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) said he will play on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
James, who is listed as probable, sat out Monday's contest due to lingering foot soreness. He said Wednesday that he's not going to miss an extended period of time and that James' status for back-to-backs will be determined by how he's feeling. Wenyen Gabriel will likely move back to the Lakers' bench on Wednesday.
numberFire's models project LeBron for 33.8 minutes and 44.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $10,100 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Lakers’ implied total (108.25) is No. 21 out of 26 teams today.
