LeBron James last played on the court on March 6, 2024 in a game against the Sacramento Kings where the Lakers lost 120-130. However, he missed the match on Friday March 9, 2024 where the Lakers hosted the Bucks. It was his ninth game missed of the season due to ongoing issues with his left ankle.
Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers announced in their injury report that LeBron James’ status for Wednesday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings is questionable due to left ankle tendon soreness. This ankle injury has been bothering James for a few months now. Even after treatment during the All-Star break, he missed two games in the second half.
Other Lakers players who appear on the injury report
The team’s injured list also includes Anthony Davis, who could play in the next game because he is dealing with Achilles tendon soreness, and Cam Reddish, who will be out with a sprained right ankle. Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, Colin Castleton and Jarred Vanderbilt continue to miss games due to their injuries, although it is unclear when they will be able to return to the field.
There is good news regarding Vincent and Vanderbilt. Vincent has started doing non-contact drills again and Vanderbilt seems to be improving as he recovers. The team believes these two players could potentially rejoin the team before the end of the regular season.
When does LeBron James’ contract with the Los Angeles Lakers expire? Will he resign?
In September 2022, LeBron James signed a major deal, a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension with a player option for the 2024-25 season. After this contract ends, LeBron appears ready to stick with the Lakers, having spent the last six seasons with the storied franchise during his incredible 21-year career.
His family ties run deep in Los Angeles, where his eldest son, Bronny, 19, is actively involved with the USC Trojan basketball team. Additionally, LeBron has expressed interest in possibly sharing the court with Bronny once his son begins his NBA journey.
