LeBron James' injury report (March 27, 2025): Is the Los Angeles Lakers star fit to play tonight against the Chicago Bulls?

The Los Angeles Lakers received a boost ahead of their matchup against the Chicago Bulls tonight, with LeBron James officially fit to play. The Lakers’ injury report lists only Maxi Kleber (foot) as out, while James, despite recent concerns, is ready to take the court at the United Center.
The Chicago Bulls, struggling at 32-40, have six players on their injury report, including key big man Nikola Vucevic (questionable, back). Chicago’s injury woes contrast with the Lakers’ relatively clean bill of health, positioning Los Angeles favorably in this late-season clash.
LeBron James remains the Lakers’ driving force. His availability is crucial as the team fights for playoff positioning, currently sitting at 44-28.


The Bulls, meanwhile, rely heavily on Coby White (24.3 PPG last 20 games), who is probable despite a toe issue. Chicago’s defense has been a weakness, ranking 28th in points allowed (119.7 per game), which LeBronJames and the Lakers’ 19th-ranked offense (112.8 PPG) will look to exploit.

In their last five head-to-head matchups, the Chicago Bulls have dominated the Los Angeles Lakers, winning four games. On March 22, 2025, Chicago crushed Los Angeles 146-115, led by Coby White's 36 points and Matas Buzelis’ career-high 31 points. Earlier, on December 20, 2023, the Bulls defeated the Lakers 124-108 with DeMar DeRozan contributing 27 points. Despite strong performances from LeBron James and Luka Doncic in some games, injuries have plagued the Lakers. The Bulls have capitalized on their perimeter shooting and fast-paced offense, while the Lakers struggled defensively and missed key players like James and Rui Hachimura.

Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET at the United Center, with live coverage on SportsNet LA and CHSN. Fans can stream the game on Fubo, subject to regional restrictions.
