James has been managing this injury and recently returned from a two-game absence to contribute significantly in the Lakers' 116-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. In that game, he scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out eight assists in 34 minutes of play.
Despite the injury concerns, the Lakers have no plans to trade James or his teammate Anthony Davis ahead of the February 6 trade deadline. The team is committed to enhancing the supporting cast around their superstar duo rather than breaking them up.
James is also on the verge of setting another NBA record, as he approaches Abdul-Jabbar’s minutes record, but his participation in the game against the Kings will depend on his health.
