NBA insider Rachel Nichols speculated that LA Lakers star LeBron James will secure his 22nd All-Star appearance after the injury to Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.

The Los Angeles Lakers have revealed LeBron James' final injury status ahead of the matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.

LeBron James, at 41, is confirmed available for the Lakers' home game against the Kings on December 28, 2025, aiming to end a three-game skid. Despite numerous Lakers absences, James's presence is crucial as they face a struggling Sacramento squad.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers snapped their three-game losing skid on Sunday with a much-needed 125-101 blowout win over the Sacramento Kings. The Lakers got the win despite not having the services of Austin Reaves, who is currently out with a calf injury.

Instead, Seth has hardly been on the court. He's been ruled out Sunday with injury, and it's one that sounds familiar because LeBron James dealt with a similar ailment earlier in the season: Sciatic nerve irritation.

On Tuesday, for the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James will play in his 57th game since turning 40. It will also be his first as a 41 year old.

Sports legends Tiger Woods and LeBron James are both marking milestone birthdays on Tuesday, Dec. 30. James will play for the Lakers as Woods continues to rehab his injuries.

Jeff Teague says with Austin Reaves being hurt might be a blessing in disguise because now Lebron has to turn it up “Might get to see best version of LeBron. But might also be a kryptonite being 41 and having that much demand on the court” (Via @club520podcast) pic.twitter.com/fzHqrOBMJX
