LeBron James, leader of the Los Angeles Lakers, will miss his team’s game on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a right foot injury suffered on Sunday and it is feared that he will be out for a long period.
James suffered an injury to his right foot, without having any contact with a rival, in his team’s victory this Sunday at the Dallas Mavericks field, in a game in which he continued to compete despite the pain.
The Lakers reported this Monday that LeBron will not be on Tuesday for the appointment with the Grizzlies and ‘King James’ expressed his frustration with a message on his social networks in which he attached a photo of his right leg.
Although the Lakers did not report the time needed for his recovery, the local media assure that LeBron, 38, could be “several weeks out.”
The Lakers, twelfth in the West (29-32), have three consecutive victories and were growing in their fight to reach the play-in places.
The Los Angeles team will face the Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors this week.
LeBron is averaging 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists this season, in which he became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
