Even though James was able to play despite the injury in that particular game, it was decided to keep him out of the lineup for the next game against the Trail Blazers. It is the first game of the season that he has missed. James’ condition was explained by Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, who described it as “day to day.”

LeBron has continued to be a standout player for the Lakers this season despite being older and having sustained significant career wear and tear. The team’s recent victory over the Suns may be crucial in helping them find their footing again even as they struggle to improve their outside shooting.

The Lakers’ ability to overcome hardship will be put to the test in the next games, which will also provide an indication of the team’s depth.
