LeBron James has been “upgraded to available” for the Lakers' showdown against the Grizzlies, as reported by Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

James was out of the Lakers' lineup for over a week due to personal reasons, as he did not play in Los Angeles' win over the Portland Trail Blazers last Sunday or travel with the team for their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday evening. There was considerable concern around the league about what was going on with James considering his abrupt departure from the team and the rather cryptic comments that head coach JJ Redick made about his status when asked.

James last took the floor for the Lakers in an overtime road loss to the Atlanta Hawks, a game in which the superstar registered a 39-point triple-double. Los Angeles has been struggling as of late, currently sitting at 13-12, good for tenth place in the crowded Western Conference playoff picture.

Anthony Davis has also seen his MVP-level play taper off significantly since his hot start to the season.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are dealing with some injuries of their own, as both Marcus Smart and Zach Edey are listed as questionable for the matchup with the Lakers.

So when it comes to the question of if LeBron James will play against the Grizzlies, the answer is yes.
