LOS ANGELES — Lakers coach Darvin Ham said "in all likelihood," LeBron James "should be available" to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night at Crypo.com Arena.
What that will look like with James playing for the first time with the collection of talent the Lakers accumulated via the trade market last Thursday is an unknown.
James missed the last three games with left ankle soreness and only could watch newcomers D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley and Davon Reed try to incorporate themselves into the Lakers mix the last two games.
