LeBron James is doubtful, Nikola Jokic is doubtful, and there are new developments about Bam Adebayo and Lauri Markkanen in the NBA injury report.

LeBron James, a four-time NBA MVP, has been listed by the LA Lakers as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. After recovering from a right foot injury that kept him out of action for two weeks, James is still dealing with stiffness in his right foot.

On Monday night, there were no NBA games. A few hours prior to tip-off, it's anticipated that the Lakers would make James available.

During the prolonged break, LeBron James has experienced some shooting difficulties. He is shooting 46.3% overall, including a pitiful 20.0% from outside the arc, averaging 20.0 points per game. But James has made a significant contribution with his playmaking and offensive rebounds. He averages 6.0 assists per game and 9.0 rebounds.

He should be wearing the uniform tonight in Salt Lake City when they play the Utah Jazz, barring any setbacks. In the event that he is unavailable for some reason, Darvin Ham may start Austin Reaves, Troy Brown Jr., or Rui Hachimura instead.

Nikola Jokic is still listed as questionable for the Denver Nuggets' game against the Houston Rockets in Texas. Since March 30, he has been listed as out with a tight right calf, missing all three of the games during that time. The current NBA MVP's most recent game was on March 27 in the exciting 116-111 victory over the Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers by the Nuggets.

In its last three games without the Serbian superstar, Denver is 1-2. The Nuggets advanced to 52-26 after their excellent victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. For the best record in the Western Conference, they still lead the Memphis Grizzlies (49-29) by three games.

The two-time NBA MVP may not be available for the fourth straight game as he has reportedly been limited in practise.

If Nikola Jokic is ruled out, Thomas Bryant might continue to start. In the absence of Denver's best player, DeAndre Jordan might also see an increase in playing time.

Right hip contusion; Bam Adebayo has been hurt since April 1, 2023

On April 1, Bam Adebayo missed the Miami Heat's important 129-122 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. During their Tuesday night game against the Detroit Pistons, he was changed from out to questionable.

The NBA All-Star is anticipated to play against the Pistons, Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters after his team's victory over the Mavericks.

The Heat (41-37), who are vying with the Brooklyn Nets (43-35) for the sixth seed, will benefit greatly from Adebayo's return. They will receive an automatic playoff position with a top-six finish.

One of the NBA's top two-way big men is averaging 16.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his previous five games.

If the two-time NBA All-Star is still out, Cody Zeller ought to play another game.

Left hand contusion; Lauri Markkanen has been hurt since March 27, 2023

The Utah Jazz have listed Lauri Markkanen as questionable for their matchup with the visiting LA Lakers. After missing the Jazz's previous two games due to a left-hand injury, "The Finnisher" participated on Sunday night against the Brooklyn Nets.
