Will LeBron James play tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder?

The Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. The Thunder are coming off two close losses and heading into their most important remaining games of the season. The Thunder have played just two games in the past five days.

Going into this game against one of the top teams in the Western Conference, the Thunder will be fully healthy and missing only two G League two-way forwards Keyonta Johnson and 2022 NBA Draft lottery pick Ousmane Dieng. The rest of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s young players will be fully available against the Purple and Gold.

LeBron James has not played at Paycom Center since December 10, 2021, the last time in league history that he will play in downtown Bricktown.

The schedule isn’t going well for Oklahoma City Thunder fans hoping to see LeBron James active, the final stop on a four-game road trip the second night of a back-to-back, with the Lakers’ show flying to Oklahoma City traveled from Detroit last night.

However, considering the nature of the Lakers’ victory over the Pistons yesterday, in which LeBron James only played 28 minutes yesterday, the Los Angeles Lakers have not ruled out James from participating in this game. LeBron James has played in two back-to-back games so far this season.

This resulted in LeBron James being listed as questionable against the Thunder with an alleged left calf contusion. Before kickoff, Lakers bench coach Davin Hamm will announce James’ game status to the media. The story will be updated when the time comes.
