LeBron James’ injury
According to sources close to James and consulted by ESPN, the veteran could miss at least one more week with the Lakers , in addition to the fact that a doctor close to the institution said that LeBron would want to “take time” for the injury.
According to the franchise, James has a distention of the rectus abdominis, which was aggravated in the victory that the team obtained against Rockets 119-117 , and a situation for which he was not on Thursday against the Thunder in the duel that they lost 107- 104 at the Staples Center.

In case of missing next week, LeBron James would already be out 7 of the 13 games with which the Lakers’ regular season began . The forward and star of the Lakers was also not in the team’s 125-121 victory against the Spurs.
Although the team is sixth in the Western Conference with a 5-4 record, the reality is that James’ health is something to consider and that it has become a matter of concern for Frank Vogel’s, who hope to recover soon to its great star.
