LeBron James will be available for the crucial play-in game between the Lakers and the Warriors, however Frank Vogel claimed his superstar isn’t ‘at full strength’.

“[James] is not at full strength,” Frank Vogel told reporters before tipoff. “But he’s getting there.” According to Vogel, Drummond will be the starting center for L.A.

James missed 26 games during the regular season due to a high ankle sprain. During his absence, the Lakers dropped from a top-three seed in the West all the way down to seventh.

Now, they will have to get past the Warriors tonight to secure the seventh seed, which will bring the Phoenix Suns as an opponent in the first round of the playoffs.
