Is LeBron James playing tonight against Warriors? Exploring Lakers 20-time All-Star's status for Christmas Day game (Dec. 25)

LeBron James is listed as "questionable" for the LA Lakers' blockbuster Christmas Day matchup against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. LeBron has been managing a lingering left foot injury but has played through the pain in the Lakers' last four games after missing two straight contests earlier this month.

Since returning from his brief absence, LeBron has consistently been listed as "questionable" before being upgraded to "available" just before tip-off. Following this pattern, the 20-time All-Star is expected to take the court again for the Lakers, barring any last-minute setbacks.

In his most recent game, the four-time NBA champion showcased his brilliance with a triple-double, tallying 28 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, though the Lakers ultimately fell to the Detroit Pistons in a narrow 117-114 loss.

LeBron James, who holds the record for the most points (476) scored on Christmas Day, will be eager to put on another stellar performance as he faces his longtime rival, Steph Curry, in their first matchup of the season. Speaking ahead of the game, LeBron shared his excitement about squaring off against Curry.

"Any time you get an opportunity to be on the court and compete vs. one of the greatest to ever play this game, you don't take it for granted," LeBron said after Lakers' loss against the Pistons. "I don't know how many more opportunities will get to go against each other, so it's always fun."
