The Los Angeles Lakers caused a stir on Tuesday when they published the official injury list for their upcoming game in the 2024 season against the Washington Wizards.

Star man LeBron James was an unwelcome feature on the document, with a left foot injury the cause for concern.

Will LeBron James play against the Washington Wizards?

As it stands, LeBron James is listed as ‘probable’ for the game, meaning that a late decision will be taken on the player regarding his participation in the game, although medical staff appear happy enough to have given him a potential green light for the tie.

LeBron’s record this season

Across the campaign, James has been a key member of the team. He has started 37 of the Lakers’ 40 games this season and is averaging 23.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game while shooting 51.4% from the field.

Against the Wizards, his record stands at 27.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game.

So far this season, the Lakers have not shone on all fronts like many hoped given their star-studded squad. Across 40 games, they have won 22 and lost 18. The team sit in 6th place in the Western Conference standings and are just ahead of the Dallas Mavericks, who have had their own problems during the campaign.

As for the Wizards, they are going through a simply catastrophic campaign, having won just 6 of 41 games, losing the other 35, putting them rock-bottom of the Eastern Conference. They have won one away match all season and are currently on a tragic 10-match losing streak in the competition.
