The Los Angeles Lakers will evaluate LeBron James’ availability for the second night of each remaining back-to-back set on a “to be determined” basis, according to a report published on Jan. 7 2026.
The team did not commit to a blanket plan for the veteran forward, instead indicating that playing status will be confirmed closer to each back-to-back as the season progresses.
No additional timetable or medical update was provided, and the club offered no further details about how the decisions will be made.
