LeBron James and Rui Hachimura Upgraded to Questionable for Lakers' Game Against Bulls

The Lakers' star players are nearing a return after extended absences due to injuries, with LeBron expected to play limited minutes if he suits up.

LeBron James has been sidelined since March 8, 2025, with a groin strain but has been upgraded to 'questionable' for the March 22 game against the Bulls.
Rui Hachimura, out since February 27 with left patellar tendinopathy, has also been upgraded to 'questionable' for the same game.
LeBron participated in full-court workouts, showcasing progress in his recovery, though concerns remain about lateral movement due to the nature of his injury.
The Lakers have gone 3-4 in LeBron's absence, with their defensive performance suffering significantly, dropping to 17th in defensive rating.
Despite injury challenges, the Lakers remain tied for the third seed in the Western Conference as they aim to solidify their playoff positioning.
