LeBron James Latest News
Plans to play Sunday
James (rest) is expected to play Sunday against the Suns, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. This is probably a decision that will be made Sunday before the game, but all signs point to James being available for Sunday's game against the Suns. That game in Palm Springs will be the Lakers' second preseason game following Friday's loss to the Timberwolves. James is set to play in his 22nd season in the NBA.
Won't play Friday
James (rest) will be held out of Friday's preseason opener versus the Timberwolves, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. James will likely be under a minutes restriction throughout the preseason, giving coach JJ Redick a chance to further evaluate the second unit of Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt and Cam Reddish (undisclosed/soreness). Redick said Thursday that both James and Anthony Davis would play at some point this weekend, likely leaving James to make his preseason debut Sunday against the Suns.
Game-high 10 assists for gold
James tallied 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds, two steals and one block across 32 minutes in Saturday's 98-87 win over France in the gold medal game of the Paris Olympics. James racked up a game-high 10 assists while leading Team USA past France for gold. The squad survived a late comeback from France and Victor Wembanyama, and James did it all in the contest. The 39-year-old served as one of Team USA's top options throughout the Olympics, and the superstar averaged 14.2 points, 8.5 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 24.3 minutes per game in six Olympic matchups.
Helps push USA to gold medal game
James accumulated 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 95-91 semifinal victory over Serbia. James' triple-double was massive in helping Team USA pull off a comeback win from 17 points down. Stephen Curry stole the show with 36 points, however, and Joel Embiid was the only other player with double-digit points (19). The team is set to face France for the gold medal game.
Good to go in semifinals
James (face) will start Thursday's semifinal matchup against Serbia. As expected, James won't let a few stitches stop him from playing against Nikola Jokic and Serbia in the Olympic semifinal matchup. The winner of Thursday's game plays France in hopes of winning a gold medal.
Gets stitches after early exit
James took an inadvertent elbow to his face during the third quarter of Tuesday's quarterfinal win over Brazil and needed four stitches before returning to Team USA's bench in the fourth quarter, Karl Rasmussen of SI.com reports. James never checked back into the game after the incident, but he said following the win that he's okay, per Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com. James finished the contest with 12 points, nine assists, three rebounds and three steals in 17 minutes. The 39-year-old superstar continues to be one of Team USA's best all-around players, and he can be considered probable for Thursday's semifinal showdown versus Serbia.
Does it all in Olympic win
James finished with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and three steals across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 122-87 win over Brazil in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics. James did it all in Team USA's blowout victory, and he led the squad in assists and steals. Despite playing only 17 minutes in the contest, the superstar made his presence felt on both sides of the ball. The 39-year-old averaged 14.3 points, 7.3 assists and 6.7 rebounds across 22.0 minutes per game in three group-phase contests. James continues to be one of, if not the best all-around player for Team USA in these Olympic games.
Well-rounded performance Wednesday
James tallied 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Team USA's 103-86 win over South Sudan on Wednesday. James led the United States starters in scoring during Wednesday's comfortable victory, and he also became the third player in Team USA history to score at least 300 career points during Olympic play. The 39-year-old was also a well-rounded contributor during Team USA's win over Serbia on Sunday, and he should remain involved as the United States attempts to win a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
Nears triple-double in Olympics win
James totaled 21 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes in Team USA's 110-84 win over Serbia in the Paris Olympics on Sunday. James posted the second-highest scoring outing of the matchup, and put up a near triple-double in the blowout win. The 39-year-old continues to be one of the top options for Team USA, and his ability to stuff the stat sheet will be crucial in the squad's quest for gold. James may take a backseat in scoring, especially if Kevin Durant enters the starting lineup. However, he is likely bound to aid the team in any way possible as the star-studded roster looks to continue their dominance in the group phase.
