  • Lakers’ LeBron James Set to Miss One to Two Weeks with Groin Injury. James sustained a groin injury during the Lakers-Celtics game.
  • The Lakers are currently the No 3 seed in the Western Conference.
  • James is averaging 25.1 points this season.

During the Los Angeles Lakers’ 111-101 loss to the Boston Celtics, LeBron James had to leave the game due to a strained groin. According to ESPN, the 40-year-old basketball star might be sidelined for an extended period, possibly lasting for ‘weeks’.

Prior to his injury, James managed to score 22 points, grab 14 rebounds, and provide nine assists before exiting in the middle of the fourth quarter. This unfortunate event also brought an end to the Lakers’ eight-game winning streak at home.

Having played in the NBA for 22 seasons, James had been excelling on the court with an average of 25.1 points, 8.5 assists, and 8.1 rebounds per game leading up to the Boston Celtics matchup. Recently, he achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first player in NBA history to accumulate 50,000 career points, encompassing both regular-season and playoff performances.

While Lebron James was in the locker room, the Lakers managed to reduce a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter to single digits. However, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown scored the final 12 points for Boston, securing the victory.

Luka Doncic contributed 34 points and eight rebounds in his first game in Boston since the Dallas Mavericks lost Game 5 of the NBA Finals, allowing Boston to clinch its 18th championship.

The Lakers (40-22) currently hold the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference standings. They are set to face Brooklyn on Monday, likely without James for that game and possibly for some time to come.
