LeBron James is set to return to action for the Los Angeles Lakers as they face the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. James missed the previous game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to left ankle soreness, a lingering issue he has been managing for some time.
The Lakers managed to secure a thrilling 128-124 victory in double overtime against the Bucks without James, showcasing their resilience and depth. However, having their star player back on the court will undoubtedly boost their chances in the upcoming matchup against the Grizzlies.
This game against Memphis marks the second game of the Lakers' challenging six-game road trip. Following the Grizzlies, the Lakers will face tough opponents in Indiana, Brooklyn, Toronto, and Washington as they look to solidify their position in the Western Conference standings.
Currently, the Lakers hold the 9th spot in the Western Conference with a record of 40-32. With only 10 games left in the regular season, every win is crucial for the Lakers as they aim to secure a playoff spot and make a deep postseason run.
