Lakers and NBA reporter for ESPN. Covered the Lakers and NBA for ESPNLosAngeles.com from 2009-14, the Cavaliers from 2014-18 for ESPN.com and the NBA for NBA.com from 2005-09.MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- LeBron James is available to play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies after sitting out the Los Angeles Lakers' 128-124 come-from-behind win in double overtime Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Meanwhile, teammate Anthony Davis won't play against Memphis because of a hyperextended left knee.
James was sidelined in Milwaukee because of left ankle soreness, something that he has been playing through for several months.
Both James and Davis entered the game as questionable.
The Grizzlies matchup is the second leg of Los Angeles' six-game road trip that continues against Indiana, Brooklyn, Toronto and Washington.
The Lakers (40-32) are currently No. 9 in the Western Conference standings with 10 games remaining.
