LeBron James finished Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers with 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer.
With no Luka Dončić in the lineup, the Lakers had to rely on James more than they would prefer to in Portland. While he kept turnovers in check, committing only four, the added responsibility made it more challenging for James to get going offensively. He still finished with a complete stat line, and the field-goal percentage was the only issue. The question now is whether LeBron will be available for Sunday’s game against the Raptors.
