When you’re 41 years old, injuries can pop up at a whim.
LeBron James is the only player on the Lakers’ injury report, but not for the reason you’d imagine. His left elbow contusion is no longer listed but, instead, a right hip contusion has been added.

He’s still questionable heading into the game.
On Sunday against the Knicks, he was a game-time decision but did not play. During the broadcast, it was revealed that his foot, not his elbow, was more the reason for that decision. On Monday, the Lakers had practice, but LeBron, along with the rest of the rotation players, did not take part.
It’s rare for teams, and especially the Lakers, to practice with just one day between games, so there isn’t necessarily anything out of the ordinary here.
Taking all that into account, it’s likely for LeBron to be a gametime decision again on Tuesday against the Wolves.

LeBron being the lone player on the injury report is also notable. Maxi Kleber is no longer listed on the report after having some back soreness over the weekend. Ayton was not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.
Bronny James and Adou Thiero are back with the parent team as well after playing with South Bay.
