Are LeBron James and Luka Doncic playing tonight? Lakers vs. Mavericks time, TV channel and live stream
The Lakers get another look at the Mavericks when the two teams meet in LA on Friday night. The only question is: which stars will fans see in the competition?
On February 26, the Lakers managed a 111-108 win over the Mavericks. LeBron James had 26 points and eight rebounds, but it came at a price. James injured the tendon in his right foot and hasn’t played since.
James has missed nine games in which the Lakers have gone 5-4. They sit ninth in the Western Conference with a 34-36 record.
Luka Doncic has missed the Mavericks’ last three games with a left thigh strain. The Mavericks won 2-1 in his absence as they sit just one game ahead of the Lakers at 35-35.
