LeBron James Anticipated "To Miss At Least 1-2 Weeks"
2 mins agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is "expected to miss at least 1-to-2 weeks." The 40-year-old had a massive 22 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists in Saturday's 10-point loss to the Boston Celtics. However, he suffered a strained groin late in the contest. James will undergo another evaluation within the next 24 hours after letting the injury "calm down." Still, with the Lakers gearing up for a deep postseason push, it's certainly possible he could miss more time beyond the two-week estimation. The Lakers won eight-straight games entering Saturday night and currently sit at the third spot in the Western Conference. But Los Angeles has a tougher schedule for the remainder of the regular season, so it will be all hands on deck while James is away. With Rui Hachimura (knee) battling a knee injury, Dalton Knecht and Dorian Finney-Smith could be looking at more minutes (and starts) moving forward, with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves the favorites to carry the load offensively.
