Can the Los Angeles Lakers still reach the play-in tournament with LeBron James sidelined by a tendon injury in his right foot?

The Lakers announced Thursday that James will be reevaluated in about three weeks after he missed their last two games with the injury. That timeline pins James' return late in March at best, with the end of the regular season looming.

With 19 games left to play, the Lakers are 11th in the Western Conference, one game behind the New Orleans Pelicans for the final play-in spot.
