MANILA, Philippines — Four-time NBA champion LeBron James will miss the Los Angeles Lakers’ game at Minnesota on Thursday with tendinitis in his left ankle, the club announced.
The 38-year-old power forward delivered 25 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists on Wednesday in a 124-108 Lakers loss at Chicago.
The Lakers fell to 1-4 since capturing the first NBA In-Season Tournament crown and James said the slump is not only about emotional and physical fatigue for the team but also something more.
