Lakers could be without superstar forward LeBron James for a third straight game, this time against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James is dealing with a right ankle soreness and missed the back-to-back games with the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Frank Vogel, the head coach of the Lakers, told reporters James is a game-time decision for Friday’s matchup.

With or without LeBron James in the lineup, the Lakers want to return to the winning track after their loss to the Thunder.
