James returned to game action for the Lakers last week after missing the first 14 games of the season due to sciatica. Both of his first two games of the season came against the Utah Jazz, so the contest against the Clippers will be his first game of the season against a team other than Utah.
Overall, the Lakers should be pretty healthy for their NBA contest against their city rival. Center De'Andre Ayton is the only player listed on the team's injury report. He'll miss the game against the Clippers due to a right knee contusion. Meanwhile, the Clippers will be without Bradley Beal, Derrick Jones Jr. and Jordan Miller.
Tuesday night's matchup will be the first game of the season between the Lakers and Clippers, though the Lakers have won three straight games over L.A.'s other team dating back to last season.
