The Los Angeles Lakers’ star, LeBron James, has been performing remarkably this season, even with injuries. He has ascended to the pinnacle of the all-time scorer’s list, bringing him one step nearer to being the ultimate MVP of the 2025-2026 season. A few weeks ago, though, the 4x NBA champion sustained an injury during a game, which was subsequently identified as Sciatica.
Is the Lakers legend going to play tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers, starting at 10:00 pm ET, on SportsNet LA and NBA TV? His availability for tonight’s game is essential for the Lakers, as they depend greatly on him. In addition, James’ adaptability may be beneficial, putting the Lakers one step nearer to the finals. Here’s all the information you require regarding the latest injury updates on LeBron James and his availability for tonight’s match.
Will LeBron James be playing tonight versus the Portland Trail Blazers?
LeBron James‘ recent recovery from his Sciatica injury stirs concern among his fans and the media, prompting questions ahead of each Lakers’ game. James will participate in tonight’s matchup against the Trail Blazers while showcasing his best moves. He is not included in the official injury report, marking the fifth straight game for the Lakers icon.
James has posted outstanding statistics this season, averaging 22.7 points, 6.9 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game, which is significant. Currently, the game leans towards the Lakers because of the presence of their possible star player, LeBron James. Nonetheless, in the absence of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, the team must adjust its tactics, alongside James.
LeBron James has been suffering from sciatica since July
The NBA player has been experiencing Sciatica since late July and has missed training camps and early-season games. The injury occurred on the right side, gradually spreading down his leg, which prevented him from playing in numerous games. He was additionally experiencing arthritis in his left foot joint.
Despite his recent string of injuries impacting his lower back and leg, which often left him questionable or out of many games, he successfully made a comeback, achieving remarkable scores in the 2025-2026 matches.
