The Denver Nuggets are gearing up to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, but there’s uncertainty surrounding superstar forward LeBron James, who is listed as questionable due to left ankle peroneal tendinopathy.
James has been grappling with this injury for a few games now, although he often ends up taking the court. Nonetheless, it’s worth keeping an eye on, especially given that he’s missed a couple of games this month. This matchup is a rematch of the Western Conference Finals, where the Nuggets swept the Lakers in four closely contested games.
During the offseason, there was some back-and-forth banter between the two teams, adding extra spice to their rivalry. With both teams projecting to land in different spots in the playoff standings, the possibility of a first-round showdown between the Nuggets and Lakers remains on the table, adding to the intrigue of this matchup.
