Lakers' LeBron James: Questionable to face Chicago
James (groin) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
James is questionable to snap a seven-game absence streak due to a left groin strain. However, head coach JJ Redick said Thursday that he's hopeful the superstar will suit up, per Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com. If James remains on the shelf, Dalton Knecht and Jordan Goodwin will likely continue to receive a bump in minutes.

Lakers' LeBron James: Hoping to play Saturday
Lakers head coach JJ Redick said Thursday that he's hopeful that James (groin) will be cleared to play Saturday against the Bulls, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
James, who hasn't played since March 8 and was ruled out 24 hours in advance of Thursday's game against the Bucks, took part in a pre-game workout ahead of and must have looked sharp to warrant this comment from Redick. The medical staff will presumably keep a close eye on how James bounces back from Thursday's workout, but assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, the star forward should be in a position to suit up Saturday.

Lakers' LeBron James: Likely out one more week
James (groin) is scheduled to go through an on-court workout in Los Angeles on Sunday and is expected to remain held out for at least one more week of game action, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
James is seemingly making good progress in his recovery from the left groin strain he sustained in a March 8 loss to the Celtics, but the Lakers seem to be proceeding cautiously with the 21-time All-Star as he works his way back from the soft-tissue injury. He'll be sidelined for a fourth straight game Sunday versus Phoenix, and Charania's report implies that James will also miss the remaining four contests of the Lakers' homestand. While James and Rui Hachimura (knee) both remain out, the Lakers will have more minutes available for the likes of Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht, Jordan Goodwin and Dorian Finney-Smith.

Lakers' LeBron James: Remains out Sunday
James (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix.
James will miss a fourth straight game due to a left groin strain. He's considered day-to-day with the injury now that the Lakers' road trip has wrapped up, and while James will miss the first leg of the team's back-to-back set Sunday, he may have an outside chance at returning to action for Monday's home game versus the Spurs. Luka Doncic (calf) and Austin Reaves will continue to serve as the focal points on offense for Los Angeles while James remains sidelined.

Lakers' LeBron James: Day-to-day following road trip
Head coach JJ Redick said that James (groin), who has already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bucks and Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, will be considered day-to-day moving forward, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
James' absence streak will extend to three outings following Friday's matchup while he deals with a left groin strain. However, the superstar has a chance to make his return to game action against Phoenix on Sunday. Until then, Dalton Knecht, Dorian Finney-Smith and Jordan Goodwin are candidates for an uptick in playing time. James has made 10 appearances since the All-Star break, averaging 28.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals across 36.5 minutes per contest.

Lakers' LeBron James: Expected to miss 1-2 weeks
James is expected to miss at least 1-to-2 weeks due to a groin strain, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
This coincides with what Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reported Saturday night, but Charania also revealed that James will wait for the injury to calm down over the next 24 hours before receiving another evaluation. McMenamin relayed that James could be sidelined for "weeks, not days," and coach JJ Redick said there's "obvious concern" about the forward's availability moving forward. James suffered the injury midway through the fourth quarter of Saturday's game and finished with 22 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists across 35 minutes. Boston snapped the Lakers' eight-game winning streak, and now the hottest team in the NBA since the Luka Doncic trade could be in trouble. The Lakers may get Rui Hachimura (knee) back soon, which should help mitigate James' absence, while Doncic and Austin Reaves will run the show on offense. Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish are also candidates for more minutes.

Lakers' LeBron James: Could miss several weeks
James (groin) could be sidelined for "weeks, not days" due to the injury he sustained against the Celtics on Saturday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Head coach JJ Redick said there's "obvious concern" with James' injury, and this report doesn't paint a bright picture. It's uncertain how long he'll be sidelined, and a more accurate timeline will be provided once the Lakers' medical staff examines him. However, this is not a good omen for the Lakers, with the playoffs only a few weeks away. James posted 22 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists across 35 minutes in the loss to the Celtics. If he's forced to miss extended time, then Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent and possibly Cam Reddish could be in line to see more minutes, as the Lakers are also missing Rui Hachimura (knee) and Jaxson Hayes (knee) due to injuries.

Lakers' LeBron James: Heads to locker room Saturday
James headed to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Celtics due to an apparent leg injury, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
James walked back to the locker room with 6:44 left in the game, and there are no signs of him returning to the court any time soon. The Lakers and Celtics are engaged in a close battle in the final minutes of the contest, and it's uncertain whether James will be able to return before the end of the game. At the time of his departure, he had posted 22 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists across 35 minutes.
