LeBron James ‘questionable’ for game vs. Timberwolves due to right hip contusion, left foot arthritis<\/p>\n

When it comes to LeBron James\u2019 status for the contest against Minnesota, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n

James is currently listed as questionable<\/a> for the game due to a combination of a\u00a0right hip contusion and left foot arthritis. James missed L.A.’s last two games due to these issues. His final status will be determined prior to tipoff.<\/p>\n

On the season, James has played in 44 games for L.A. and posted averages of 21.4 points, 7.0 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per performance.<\/p>\n

The game between L.A. and Minnesota will be impactful when it comes to playoff seeding in the Western Conference. The Lakers enter the game fifth in the West, but they sit just a single game behind the Timberwolves, who are third in the standings.<\/p>\n

If the Lakers can pull out a win, the two teams will have the exact same record, and the Lakers will have won the season series between the teams.<\/p>\n
