As the NBA Cup continues, the Lakers remain on track to defend their 2023 title. L.A. opened Cup play with a five-point win over San Antonio and continues its journey Tuesday when it welcomes Utah to Crypto.com Arena.
Things are looking up for the Lakers. The team has bounced back from a rough early season road trip to win five straight and sit at 9-4 through 13 games, including a flawless 6-0 record at home.
As swimmingly as things have gone for L.A., rookie guard Bronny James is still working to find his way. James is in a slump as he splits time in the NBA and the NBA G League. Now, he may be working through an injury.
After playing 26 minutes in his second-ever G League game, James popped up as doubtful for Tuesday's game with a bruised left heel. While his availability is up in the air, The Sporting News will track James' performance in the Lakers' NBA Cup game against the Jazz.
