LeBron James is expected to lead the Lakers in their matchup against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Playing the second game of a back-to-back, the 39-year-old has previously stated his goal of participating in all 82 games this season, barring injuries.
LeBron was on the court Tuesday when JJ Redick's squad suffered a crushing 127-100 defeat to the Phoenix Suns in an NBA Cup game. The 20-time All-Star had a subpar outing, posting 18 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists, while committing five turnovers in 35 minutes.
The Lakers, currently mired in a three-game losing streak, will rely heavily on LeBron to deliver a strong performance against the Spurs. The veteran forward has faced challenges in his last two games and will be determined to rebound from his recent struggles.
