James (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a 13-game absence, James returned to action Sunday and tallied 19 points (6-11 FG), eight rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes off the bench. With the Lakers fighting for a playoff spot, it would be surprising to see James take a seat unless his foot injury took a turn for the worse, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision.

James ended with 19 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

While he wasn't immediately inserted back into the starting lineup after missing the prior 13 games due to a foot injury, James still saw a big workload off the bench as his team tries to stay in the playoff picture. The future Hall of Famer will get a couple days to rest before the Lakers face the Bulls again, this time back in Chicago on Wednesday, and he'll likely move into the starting five then.

James (foot) will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Playing for the first time since Feb. 26, James will be coming off the bench for just the second time if his career, likely in an effort to conserve his minutes in his return. He's still safe to activate in season-long settings, but perhaps not the best target in daily fantasy leagues.

James (foot) will play Sunday against the Bulls, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

James is back in action after spending a month on the sidelines, and while he may have his minutes monitored, he's still someone that should be activated in all season-long settings. His return will likely result in Troy Brown returning to the second unit, and Austin Reeves' usage dipping. Lonnie Walker could also fall out of the rotation entirely with James active.

James (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James has missed 13 straight games due to right foot soreness, but he appears to be rapidly closing in on a return to game action. However, his official availability for Sunday's matchup likely won't be known until closer to the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If he remains sidelined Sunday, James' next opportunity to suit up would come in a rematch against the Bulls in Chicago on Wednesday.

James (foot) has been upgraded to doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Recent reports have indicated James will likely be back before the end of the regular season, and the team officially listing him as doubtful rather than out is a step in that direction. Optimistically, he could be back as soon as Wednesday's game against the Bulls, assuming he sits out the first of the two-game set. More information should emerge in the coming days.

James (foot) has resumed on-court activity and a "gradual movement program" but the Lakers announced Thursday that he remains without an official timetable for a return to game action, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

James hasn't played since Feb. 26 due to a right foot injury. However, the superstar forward still plans to return before the regular season ends. The Lakers currently sit in 10th place in the Western Conference and will likely continue to rely on Anthony Davis to shoulder the offensive load until James is available.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham said Sunday that he anticipates James (foot) returning "at some point [this season]," Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been three weeks since James suffered a tendon injury in his right foot, and Sunday's game against Orlando will mark his 11th straight absence. While he remains without a firm timetable, this update would seem to imply that it's possible the four-time MVP could be back in action before the end of the regular season. That would be a welcomed development for a Lakers team desperately attempting to cling to a Play-In spot in the Western Conference. Fantasy-wise, James can safely be ruled out for at least one more week.

James (foot) remains out, but he was able to do some weight lifting and shooting during Tuesday's shootaround, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

James continues to be sidelined due to a right foot tendon injury and is expected to be re-evaluated next week, but it's encouraging to see him making at least some progress in his rehab. The Lakers are in a three-way tie for ninth place in the West, so James' potential return could provide a major boost during the stretch run. Meanwhile, Troy Brown, Lonnie Walker and Rui Hachimura are all candidates for increased playmaking opportunities behind Anthony Davis (foot) and D'Angelo Russell.

The Lakers' medical staff determined Thursday that James has sustained a right foot tendon injury and will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

James hopes to return by the end of March, as he'll avoid surgery with the expectation that he makes a full recovery through rest and rehab. The Lakers currently sit in 11th place in the Western Conference standings and will almost certainly need James to return the court to secure a spot in the Play-In Tournament. Role players like Troy Brown, Lonnie Walker and Rui Hachimura will likely see extended playing time in James' absence, while Anthony Davis (foot) and D'Angelo Russell (ankle) are expected to shoulder more of the offensive workload.
