LeBron James Questionable Versus Phoenix

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for the Sunday afternoon showdown with the Suns.

Anthony Davis Questionable For Sunday Afternoon

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (Achilles, hip) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. This injury isn't anything new, so he should be out there, barring a setback.

Donovan Mitchell Sitting Against Orlando

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) won't play on Thursday against the Magic. He did participate in shootaround on Thursday morning, so that's a good thing regarding his health.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) won't play on Thursday versus the Knicks. However, the 25-year-old will return to the court on Friday against the Cavaliers.
