The Los Angeles Lakers will be without LeBron James for a second consecutive game due to left elbow discomfort and left foot arthritis. After a hard fall in a recent loss to the Denver Nuggets, James was ruled out against the New York Knicks, with his foot injury being the primary concern. Luka Doncic stepped up in James’ absence, scoring 44 points in a win over the Indiana Pacers, and will be needed again to face the Knicks. Kleber is available for the matchup.
