LeBron James has been suffering from an ankle problem for the past few weeks, and he is once again listed on the LA Lakers’ injury report as questionable.
He’s been listed as questionable multiple times in recent Lakers games, but he was officially ruled out of their last game against the Brooklyn Nets.
LeBron is just games away from making NBA history, and the legend of the sport is expected to surpass all-time scoring leader Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. However, as he heads toward this spectacular milestone, he has faced these injury hurdles.
Lakers fans are confident he could get significantly closer to Kareem’s record after tonight’s game.

Despite being listed as questionable for tonight’s game, and missing the last one, James is expected to suit up and return to the court against the Knicks.
The 38-year-old is having a season to remember, at least personally, with the Lakers having a terrible season overall. James averages 30.2 points per game, with 8.5 rebounds and 7 assists, gigantic numbers for ‘The King’ in season 20.
In his last game against the Boston Celtics, LeBron was involved in an on-court tantrum after the referees denied it, in what they later confirmed was a ‘heartbreaking’ mistake.
