  James (sciatica/foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports. The Lakers continue to manage James' availability due to sciatica and arthritis in his left foot, and he could miss his second consecutive contest Sunday. If the veteran forward is ultimately ruled out, Jake LaRavia, Maxi Kleber, Dalton Knecht and Adou Thiero are all candidates for a bump in minutes.

• Lakers' LeBron James: Ruled out Friday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  James (sciatica/foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports. After posting eight points (4-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 11 assists and six rebounds in 36 minutes during Thursday's win over Toronto, James will miss the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set due to left foot joint arthritis and sciatica. The superstar's next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the 76ers. With the veteran forward sidelined, Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht and Maxi Kleber are candidates for increased playing time.
