Without James, the Lakers did not have enough offensive firepower to overcome two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo's season-high 47 points for the Bucks. "I hope, I hope," James told ESPN after Wednesday's game when asked if he would play Boston. The 17-time All-Star has been sidelined for the team's last eight games, including a 109-102 loss at Milwaukee on Wednesday, but was listed as questionable for Friday's contest. James reportedly could be set to return from an abdominal injury when the Lakers visit the Celtics for the first time this season. Los Angeles might get its "King" back on Friday night in the form of a returning LeBron James as basketball's two most successful franchises renew their storied rivalry on the parquet in Boston. After a tough two-week stretch, the scuffling Los Angeles Lakers are eagerly awaiting a much-needed "royal" reinforcement.
