Tue Dec 24 05:50:00 UTC 2024: ## LeBron James to Play Against Detroit Pistons Despite Recent Injury Management
**Detroit, MI** – Despite recent injury concerns, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James will be available for Monday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons. James, who has been managing a left foot injury, was initially listed as questionable but has been upgraded to available. This comes after a two-game absence earlier this month, his first such absence this season. In his return, James averaged impressive numbers over three games, including a 34-minute performance against Memphis where he scored 18 points with eight assists and eight rebounds.
The Pistons will be hoping for a repeat of their earlier season victory over the Lakers, a 12-point win in November where James played 40 minutes and recorded 20 points, eight rebounds, and 11 assists. However, the Lakers will have Anthony Davis also available, having been upgraded to available after being listed as questionable. The Lakers will be without Christian Wood, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jalen Hood-Schifino, and Jaxson Hayes.
The Pistons enter the game seeking their 13th win of the season.
