After dropping their last game to the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Lakers will look to bounce back when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.
Star forward LeBron James didn’t play in the game against the Spurs as it was the second night of a back-to-back and James hasn’t been officially cleared by the organization to play in back-to-backs.
But, what about his status for the matchup with the Bucks?

As it stands, James’ status for Friday night remains up in the air, as he is listed as “questionable” for the contest with left foot joint arthritis and right sciatica on the injury report. His final status for the contest will be determined prior to tipoff.
Prior to missing the game against San Antonio, James had appeared in 12 consecutive games for the Lakers after missing 16 of the team’s first 22 games to start the season.
On the season, James is averaging 21.7 points, 6.8 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 33.3 minutes per performance.
The meeting between the Lakers and Bucks will be the second of the season between the two teams. The Lakers bested the Bucks 119-95 back on Nov. 15.
