Our View
James' absence was fully expected after he had been listed as doubtful heading into Tuesday. The Lakers will complete their back-to-back set Wednesday with a matchup against the Grizzlies, and a determination on James' status for that game will be made based on how his ankle responds to rest and treatment, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com. Austin Reaves, D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura should all benefit from expanded profiles on offense Tuesday while James is sidelined.
