Lakers' Hopes Rest on LeBron James Against Jazz
With the addition of new streaming options and a revised broadcast schedule, fans will have more ways to watch the Lakers, including LeBron James, in action, as the team looks to build on their successful season and make a deep playoff run, with the new media deal set to take effect in the fall of 2025.
LeBron James is listed as probable for the Los Angeles Lakers' upcoming game against the Utah Jazz, and his performance will be crucial in solidifying the team's playoff position, as the Lakers look to build on their 32-19 record with their star player averaging 24.4 points per game.
The Lakers, now an exciting team to watch with the addition of Luka Doncic, face a struggling Jazz team with several key players injured, making James' presence on the court even more important. However, his ankle injury raises questions about his potential limitations, and fans will be watching closely to see how he performs.
For those looking to catch the game, the viewing process has become increasingly complex due to the new media deal that will take effect in the fall of 2025. In-market viewers in the Los Angeles area can watch on Spectrum SportsNet, while out-of-market fans can subscribe to NBA League Pass or NBA TV. National broadcasts will be available on ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV, with additional streaming options on Peacock and Prime Video starting in the 2025-26 season.
As the Lakers aim to secure their playoff spot, James' health and performance will be key, and fans will be eager to see how the team fares against the Jazz, with the new media deal set to change the way they watch their favorite team, including the Lakers, in action.
