LeBron James continues to be on the LA Lakers' injury report ahead of their latest game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. LeBron has missed only four games this season, though. The Lakers star has played through injuries amid LA's inconsistent year.
The Lakers are 21-22 after 43 games, 10th in the Western Conference. Things aren't looking bright in LA after an NBA In-Season Tournament win. The under .500 record is alarming, considering LeBron's been as available as he was in the 2019-20 championship run. The same goes for Anthony Davis, who has missed only two games.
The LA Lakers also have a deep roster around the two stars, but they haven't been able to compete at a high level.
