When asked about LeBron James’ probable availability for Wednesday’s game at Memphis, Lakers coach Darvin Ham chose not to comment at his pregame availability.

He is receiving treatment continuously since “last game, he was experiencing some significant discomfort,” as Ham put it. “We will have another update as soon as he wakes up in the morning.”

The four-time MVP has missed 10 games so far this season. James has appeared in 62 games so far this season, which is his most in a season since 2019–20.

“He is eager to participate,” Ham remarked. “These opportunities, these moments, he loves. He wants to play with his teammates, and we know what’s on the line. However, if he is physically unable to do so, we will need to employ some brains. Every day, we will monitor his condition and take appropriate action based on his symptoms.

The following players are expected to play on Tuesday night: Anthony Davis of Los Angeles (Achilles), Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee (left hamstring), and Khris Middleton of Milwaukee (left ankle). Injuries to all three were marked as probable on the report.

A strained right wrist will prevent Patrick Beverley, a guard with the Milwaukee Bucks, from playing.
