Ahead of their game against the Rockets, the Lakers provided an injury update on star forward LeBron James that will be worth monitoring. Following a seven-game absence earlier this month after suffering a groin injury against the Boston Celtics, James has appeared in each of the Lakers' last five games.

Alongside Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic, James led the way for the Lakers against the Grizzlies, as he scored 25 points while dishing out eight assists and hauling in six rebounds. When Memphis took the lead in the fourth quarter, James stepped up and addressed his team, resulting in an eye-opening admission from Reaves after the game.
