Game-time call vs. Jazz
James (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Utah, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Análisis
James was recalled from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday and continues to trend in the right direction. He was a full participant in Monday's practice and evidently fared well, as L.A. has officially listed him as questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup. The team should provide another update closer to tipoff on whether the 40-year-old is ready to make his 2025-26 debut.

Goes through practice Monday
James (back) was a full participant at Monday's practice, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Análisis
James recently returned from a G League stint in which he was able to get some extra practice reps in, and it sounds like he's continuing to progress. Coach JJ Redick wasn't ready to discuss James' availability for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, but a questionable tag could be on the table. More clarity will be known once the Lakers release their official injury report.

Set for full practice Monday
The Lakers recalled James (lower back) from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday, and he's slated to be a full participant in Monday's practice, Shams Charania and Dave McMenamin of ESPN report.
Análisis
James has yet to make his season debut while recovering from sciatica that had affected his lower back and right side of his body, though he's trending in the right direction after spending time over the past week practicing with the Lakers' G League affiliate. The 40-year-old superstar reportedly "looked great" and "moved well" during his recent sessions, and if all goes well Monday, he could have a chance at playing in Tuesday's home game against the Jazz. However, the Lakers have four straight days off after Tuesday's game, so the team may be incentivized to give James additional time to rest up following Monday's practice before having him make his debut in a rematch with the Jazz on the road next Sunday.

Practices Thursday
James was again able to get through full-contact, 5-on-5 work at Thursday's practice with the G League's South Bay Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Análisis
This is the second practice with South Bay that James has been able to get through without issue, and according to McMenamin, James' Thursday workout was "intense." The Lakers will hold a Monday practice when they return from their road trip, and if James continues to progress, he could join the team for that one.

Goes through 5-on-5 work
James (back) took part in 5-on-5 drills while practicing with the G League's South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Análisis
James has been sidelined all season while recovering from sciatica on his right side, but he took a meaningful step toward making his 2025-26 debut by getting in his first practice of the campaign Wednesday. With the Lakers in the midst of a five-game road trip, James will likely continue to practice with South Bay over the next few days before the parent club returns to Los Angeles following Saturday's tilt in Milwaukee. Head coach JJ Redick wasn't willing to commit to James taking part in practice with the Lakers on Monday, making it unclear if the 21-time All-Star will be available for Tuesday's home game against the Jazz.

Practicing in G League on Wednesday
James (back) will practice with the G League's South Bay Lakers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Análisis
James will log his first practice of the season and will be recalled after the practice. The 40-year-old is moving on to the next phase of his rehab from sciatica on his right side, an issue that first cropped up over the summer. Previous reports have suggested that James could be cleared to make his season debut next Tuesday against the Jazz once the Lakers return from their five-game road trip, though his availability for that contest will be contingent on him responding well to his increased workload in practice over the next few days.
