LeBron James misses Lakers game due to injury; JJ Redick remains silent on status

How long will the Los Angeles Lakers be without LeBron James?

Time will tell. JJ Redick won’t do it.

James has been away from the Lakers since Wednesday for personal reasons. James missed the Minnesota game – another loss – on Friday night because of soreness in his left foot. He missed last Sunday’s game – a win against Portland – because of the same illness.

When asked before the Timberwolves game if he knew when James would return, Redick replied: No.

James, who turns 40 on Dec. 30, has missed two of 25 games after saying before the season that one of his goals was to play in all 82 regular-season games. The Lakers will play again on Sunday, at home against Memphis. They are 13-12 and have lost eight of their last 11 games.

In James’ 23 starts, the Lakers are 12-11. He has registered 13 double-doubles and seven triple-doubles and averaged 23 points, 8 rebounds and 9.1 assists.

His son Bronny now plays in the G League and scored a career-high 30 points in his first road game with the South Bay Lakers on Thursday.
