Is LeBron James playing tonight against the Golden State Warriors? Latest injury update on Lakers superstar (Jan. 25)

LeBron James is available to play after being listed as probable with a foot injury on the LA Lakers’ injury report for their NBA Rivalry Week game against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. James has an added motivation as he gets to go up against his friend and biggest rival, Steph Curry.

He is coming off a 20-point, 14-rebound and six-assist performance against the Boston Celtics on Thursday. The Lakers blew out the defending champions 117-96 to get a statement win.

The last time the two met during Christmas Day, James got the final laugh in a 115-113 win. James had 31 points and 10 assists, while Curry had 38 points and eight 3-pointers.

Despite turning 40 in December, James continues to evade Father Time with averages of 23.6 points, 8.9 assists and 7.7 rebounds this season.

Besides the four-time champion, the Lakers’ injury report also includes Anthony Davis (probable, calf), Christian Wood (out, left knee surgery) and Jalen Hood-Schifino (out, hamstring).
