The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are set to face off on Thursday night, both coming off two of the biggest trades in recent NBA memory. The Lakers traded for superstar guard Luka Doncic, while the Warriors have reportedly finalized a deal to acquire six-time All-Star Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat.

While neither of the new stars will be suiting up on Thursday, it still makes for a very interesting matchup between two teams coming off huge trade deadline deals.

Heading into Thursday’s matchup, the Lakers have ruled superstar forward LeBron James probable due to left foot injury management.

James has missed just three games this season, having an incredible campaign in year 22. The 40-year-old superstar is averaging 24.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game this season, as everyone wants to watch him match up against Warriors star Steph Curry on Thursday.

Many fans have taken to social media to react to James’ status for Thursday’s game.

“Bron x Luka I’m assuming comes Saturday?” A fan questions eagerly waiting to see Doncic’s Lakers debut.

“10 seed warriors aint worth his time,” another fan says.

“We know he’s playing already!” a fan commented.

James is very unlikely to miss Thursday’s matchup, as the Warriors could be in trouble as they face the Lakers in LA on the second leg of a back-to-back.
