The Lakers star is currently sidelined due to a left groin strain sustained during a game against the Celtics on March 8. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter before James exited the game with 6:44 remaining and did not return for the remainder of the contest.

The Phoenix Suns will play against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday in the first of a back-to-back. The Suns begin a key five-game homestand Monday against Toronto at PHX Arena. The Raptors beat them in Toronto last month, 127-109, as they closed the game hitting a 3 on seven consecutive possessions.

The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t need LeBron James to put away the Phoenix Suns, 107-96, Sunday afternoon before a sellout crowd of 18,997 at Crypto.com Arena. They got plenty from Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves in ending a four-game losing skid.
