LeBron James Health, Injury Updates & History

Listed as a Game Time Decision for Tuesday's game vs Oklahoma City with the left groin strain he's b...

Has shown encouraging signs towards a return from his groin injury and he is hopeful to play on Saturday vs Chicago in his first action since March 8th

Is expected to miss at least one more week, but has been upgraded to day-to-day and was seen conducting an on-court workout before Sunday's game, signaling he's progressing towards a return, head coach JJ Redick has said James is close to returning

Expected to miss at least 2 weeks due to a groin strain suffered on March 8, it is expected the Lakers will be cautious with his return to reduce the reinjury risk and the Lakers in a strong position to make the playoffs.

Exited, Saturday's game vs the Celtics with a left groin strain, the timeline for his return isn't known yet but the initial thoughts seem to be that it could be a matter of weeks, not days, he will continue to be monitored as updates come in, he last experience a significant groin injury in 2018 on Christmas day when he missed 35 days and 17 games

Listed as questionable with foot and ankle discomfort, the same issue that sidelined him for the NBA All-Star game, he's been on the injury list nearly every day this season with this issue and it's possible the Lakers may get him some extra rest time vs Charlotte on Wednesday

He missed some time that was deemed personal reasons, but he is dealing with a lingering foot injury that he will seemingly be dealing with for the rest of the season, per LeBron James, the foot injury “is an everyday thing”, it might cost him some games during the regular season, but this isn’t the kind of injury that would keep him out of playoff games

Missed Sundays game with flu-like symptoms but should be available Tuesday against the Warriors

Returned and played 34 mins Wednesday against the Grizzlies after missing his 10th game of the season Tuesday with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy - James said he will be “very strategic” with the injury and managing his rest down the stretch

Ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy - this will be James' 10th missed game of the season but our Pro Basketball Docs do not expect a long absence - could return as soon as Wednesday against the Grizzlies
