James will rejoin the parent club ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers, and he could end up entering the rotation with all of LeBron James (foot), Luka Doncic (calf), Austin Reaves (calf) and Jordan Goodwin (ankle) in jeopardy of missing the contest.
Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick says Jordan Goodwin will be a part of the regular rotation moving forward.
If the Lakers are to keep Jordan Goodwin and/or Trey Jemison III through the playoffs, they will have to clear roster spots for them.
Jordan Goodwin and Trey Jemison made big plays in limited minutes in a victory over the Clippers on Friday night. The teams square off again Sunday night.
Goodwin rolled his ankle late in Friday's game against the Clippers and was unable to play the final minutes of the contest, head coach JJ Redick told Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times. Goodwin's ankle injury isn't expected to be serious,
Goodwin (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Goodwin suffered an ankle injury in Friday's game against the Clippers, and he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest,

Going back to the All-Star break, a span covering seven games, the Lakers have allowed 101.0 points per game, the lowest in the NBA in that span. They've given up 40.7% shooting in that time, too, also No. 1 in the league.
The Los Angeles Lakers will host the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday for the second time this weekend after defeating the Clippers 106-102 on Friday. This will be the fourth and final matchup this regular season between these two teams, and it will be an opportunity for the Lakers to win the season series.
