LeBron James questionable again as Lakers manage left foot issue

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers)
Ahead of Sunday’s game vs New Orleans Pelicans

LeBron has been added to the injury report with a left foot problem and is listed as questionable, Marcus Smart is doubtful with back spasms, and Bronny James is ruled out as he has been reassigned to G League side South Bay Lakers.
After missing the Lakers’ first 14 games with a long layoff, LeBron only returned on 18 November and has played three straight, averaging solid all-round contributions in limited minutes. With the team on a six game winning streak and targeting a 15–4 record, the medical staff now face a balance between short term momentum and long term management of his foot.

Raptors linked with potential Ja Morant trade as Grizzlies slide

Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies)
Current 2025–26 NBA season, with Morant out injured

As Memphis struggle at 7–12, league chatter has started to link Ja Morant with a possible move, with the Toronto Raptors mentioned by insiders as a speculative destination for a high level lead guard to push their 14–5 team deeper into contention.
Reported interest centres on Toronto’s need for a primary ball handler alongside Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, with Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett viewed as possible trade pieces. Any deal would be complex due to Morant’s dip in form, current calf strain, and two remaining contract years at over 40 million dollars each.

Arsenal rethink salary cap stance as Premier League vote support fades

Arsenal
In the build up to this week’s Premier League shareholders’ meeting and planned salary cap vote

Arsenal have shifted from strong backing of a Premier League salary cap to a more cautious stance after the exit of executive Tim Lewis, leaving the proposal short of firm support just as clubs prepare to vote on anchoring wage bills.
The plan would tie maximum wage spending to five times the revenue of the bottom club, which critics say could weaken English giants in Europe and face legal challenges from players and clubs, putting Friday’s shareholders’ vote and the whole project in doubt.
