The Lakers have the chance to take full control of their first round playoff series against the Grizzlies with a win in Game 4 on Monday.
After a loss in Game 2, Los Angeles bounced back with a commanding victory in Game 3. They outscored Memphis 35-9 in the first quarter and held on to take a 2-1 series lead.
Superstar LeBron James put up 25 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the effort. He continues to lead the way for his team in the 16th postseason of his legendary career. However, he's been a mainstay on the Lakers' injury reports in recent weeks with pain in his right foot.
Here's the latest on James' injury status ahead of a crucial Game 4 in Los Angeles on Monday night:
Is LeBron James playing vs. Grizzlies tonight?
All indications suggest James will be good to go for Game 4.
He continues to pop up on Lakers injury reports with right foot soreness, but he has looked just fine on the court. The nagging injury has been affecting the 38-year-old for several weeks. James is officially listed as probable for Game 4 but it would be a big surprise if he weren't able to suit up on Monday.
The 19-time All-Star has averaged 24.6 points per game in the first three games against Memphis. The Lakers can take a 3-1 series lead with a win on Monday.
