LeBron James will rest for Lakers Wednesday in second half of back-to-back
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz.
James scored 23 points (11-of-20 field goals) with 7 boards, 14 dimes, a steal, and a triple in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards, but he will sit out the second half of this back-to-back set. Mike Muscala (ankle) will likely start in place of James if he plays, but it'll be JaVale McGee, Lance Stephenson, and Rajon Rondo helping fill the void on offense.
LeBron is averaging 27.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.6 blocks, 2.0 trey, and 52.2 FanDuel points in 54 games this season.
