LeBron James did not travel to Sacramento for the Los Angeles Lakers’ game last night against the Kings.
James is officially day-to-day after straining his left groin during the Lakers’ victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. An MRI came back clean on Wednesday, but James is expected to miss a few games out of an abundance of caution.
The veteran forward was injured Tuesday in L.A.’s 127-101 upset win over the Warriors as he dribbled toward the basket and slipped. His right leg swung underneath him as he lost his footing, putting pressure on his left leg and groin as he reached forward to try to maintain possession of the ball.
“Obviously, we want him back soon as possible,” said Lakers coach Luke Walton. “But we also will be very cautious when we bring him back.”
