LeBron James upgraded to questionable ahead of Lakers vs. Grizzlies

LA Times  

Lakers star LeBron James, who sat out the last two games, could make his return Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Lakers have upgraded LeBron James ahead of Sunday’s game with Memphis, giving clarity to his absence from the team this past week. James, who has been listed as questionable with “left foot injury management,” missed the Lakers’ last two games and wasn’t with the team. However, because the Lakers didn’t advance in the NBA Cup, the schedule provided them with a gap where James could get extended rest without missing extensive game time.
