Delivers inefficient triple-double James closed Wednesday's 139-130 overtime loss to the Rockets with 23 points (9-26 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds, 12 assists, four blocks and one steal in 45 minutes.

Impact James returned from a one-game absence due to left knee soreness and posted his fifth triple-double of the campaign, but he went 1-for-9 from deep for an inefficient shooting performance and also had five turnovers. The four-time NBA MVP played 40-plus minutes for the ninth time this season and won't receive much respite down the stretch with the Lakers clinging to a play-in spot in the Western Conference.

Questionable for Wednesday's game James (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Rockets.

Impact James sat out Monday's loss to the Spurs due to left knee soreness, which he's been playing through for most of the season. However, the toll on the 37-year-old's body after he dropped a season-high 56 points during Saturday's win over the Warriors was too much to bounce back from Monday. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said he's optimistic that the current knee issue isn't as bad as the previous one that caused James to miss five straight games, though conflicting reports have suggested that he's still dealing with a significant amount of swelling. Either way, it's likely a decision on James' status won't come until closer to Wednesday 8:00 PM ET tip.
