LeBron James’ Status Uncertain as Lakers Face Clippers Showdown
The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for a high-stakes clash against their city rivals, the Clippers and all eyes are on LeBron James. The Lakers return to the court for the first time since the All-Star break, facing off in the fourth and final matchup of the season between these two Pacific Division foes. The season series is on the line, with the Clippers having taken two of the last three meetings. A Lakers win tonight could even the score, but uncertainty looms over their biggest star.
LeBron James is listed as “questionable” due to soreness in his left knee. The Lakers’ coaching staff will make a final decision on his availability just before tipoff.

He also just made his record-setting 21st All-Star appearance, showing that even at this stage of his career, he remains a defining presence on the court.
