Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in to the Lakers Nation.com podcast. My name's Trevor Lane, and it's

Game Day. Lakers Jazz 7.30 p.m. Pacific time tonight. Can the Lakers keep on winning? Big

game tonight because we could see the return of a big time player. LeBron James. We'll talk about

the latest on the Lakers injury report plus what the Lakers need to do in order to win this game. But first make sure you come join me tonight, 7.30 p.m. Pacific time. We'll be live right here on the Lakers Nation.com YouTube channel doing a little play-by-play, taking your questions and comments, breaking down the game as it happens. Come hang out. It's like a party. 7.30 p.m. Pacific time, and then we'll have the postgame show right after.

Joining me is Ron Gutterman. Ron, been a little while. Happy to have you back on the show. Happy to be back. Glad it worked out to talk a little Lakers basketball before a good game on Tuesday. Yeah, you know, hopefully this will be a, well, I hope it'll be a good game in that

it will be a Lakers cruise blowout victory, but it's going to take a little bit of work in

order to get there.

But the big thing for this game is that we could see the debut of LeBron James.

So here is the latest injury update for the Los Angeles Lakers. And Ron, this is the most sparse injury report we've seen on the season. There are only two names on this injury report and neither of them are listed as out. Both just questionable.

LeBron James and Gabe Vincent questionable to play tonight against the Utah Jazz.

Ron, as we're recording this here, Monday evening, I don't take this as the Lakers using any kind of gamesmanship or anything like that.

I think they really don't know yet if LeBron is going to play

against the Jazz here on Tuesday. There is another game coming up against the Jazz next Sunday.

The Lakers have four days off in between. So maybe that's a factor in terms of when they

decide to bring LeBron back. But this is going to be a go to shoot around, see how LeBron is

feeling, then maybe make some decisions from there.

We may not know as far as 30 minutes prior to game time, whether or not LeBron James is going

to be in action tonight.

Yeah, I mean, LeBron after his first practice with the team, you know, talked about his lungs

and, you know, getting his wind back under him, you know. NBA game speed is

something you just can't simulate. And LeBron knows that, you know, as he's played as many games

as anyone who's ever played this sport. So I think this is a true game time decision for him.
