LeBron James may not be in the lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers for a second straight game, due to injury.
The four-time NBA champion is dealing with a knee injury (soreness) and missed Monday’s game vs the San Antonio Spurs. Ahead of Wednesday’s game vs the Houston Rockets, the Lakers list LeBron James as questionable.
Without the “King” in the lineup, the Lakers lost to the Spurs and dropped to 28-36 in the standings. They currently are ninth in the West and in danger of missing the play-in tournament.

LeBron James appeared in 10 straight games for the Lakers before goind down with the injury. The Lakers will need him healthy in the remaining games, as they are fighting for a place in the postseason.
The 17-time NBA champions also expect Anthony Davis to return sometime within the next couple of weeks. The All-Star big man is out for more than a month with a foot injury (right foot sprain). The Lakers’ medical staff will re-evaluate him next week.
If LeBron James misses the game vs the Rockets, he could return to the lineup Friday vs the Washington Wizards.
