LeBron James has been suffering from a groin problem for some time now and the injury has reappeared in the bubble for the Lakers star.
Lakers superstar LeBron James has been reported to have pain in his right groin. He was also reported to be suffering from pain in his right groin prior to Game 4. One hopes the additional 3-day break will be helpful in James’s recovery. His presence on the court is unmatched, especially with the kind of form he’s currently in.

LeBron James has been included on the injury list multiple times. He missed a few seeded games due to his groin injury.
He has been suffering from a right groin injury since the beginning of August. The same injury had also affected him during his first season as a Laker, forcing him to miss a large part of the season.
Will LeBron James play tonight?
LeBron James has been listed as “likely” due to pain in his right groin. With Lillard out of the series, it will be interesting to see if the Lakers risk LeBron for tonight’s game. Even if you make it onto the court, you might have a minute restriction.

Rajon Rondo (back spasms) is questionable; Kentavious Caldwll-Pope (right knee pain), Anthony Davis (back spasms) and LeBron James (right groin pain) are likely for Saturday’s game.

LeBron James in series vs Blazers
LeBron James has been instrumental in the Lakers winning 3 games in a row to go 3-1 against the Blazers.
The Lakers star has averaged 24.7ppg, 11.3apg and 7.3rpg in this series. After having quiet first two games, scoring-wise, James exploded in Games 3 and 4. He was 38-12-8 in Game 3 and 30-6-10 in Game 4.
Since games take place every other day at the Bubble, the Lakers would like to finish the series tonight so they can rest a few more days before the Western conference semifinals. The Thunder and Rockets are locked in at 2-2 and that series could go all the way.
