Lakers' LeBron James misses 3rd straight, sits out win vs. Wolves
LOS ANGELES — Lakers star LeBron James remained out for Tuesday night's 120-106 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves because of left foot arthritis and a right hip contusion.
James went through his pregame shooting routine at Crypto.com Arena prior to the Lakers' team walk-through and determined he needed more time to get treatment on his left foot before playing in a game, coach JJ Redick said.
It was James' third straight missed game, the longest stretch the 23-year veteran has been out since he was sidelined the first 14 games of the season with sciatica in his lower back and down his right leg.
Is LeBron James playing tonight? Bulls vs. Lakers injury status
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is available to play Thursday night against the Chicago Bulls, the team announced shortly before tip-off.
James, 41, had missed the Lakers' last three games due to a right hip contusion and left foot arthritis. In the fourth quarter of last Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets, James took a hard fall and landed on his left elbow. ESPN's Dave McMenamin later reported that head coach JJ Redick said James "was icing his left elbow after the game and that he was experiencing enough discomfort that it caused him to be unable to finish the game."
