LeBron James missed the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to an accident Injury. As an important player for the Lakers, his absence naturally raised questions about the severity of the injury. Although the team initially revealed limited details, it sparked concern among fans.

Here’s an update on LeBron James’ injury.

What happened to LeBron James?

LeBron James missed the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night due to a left foot injury. James suffered his first injury to his left foot in the Lakers’ loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday. As a result, he had to miss his first game of the season. Despite the discomfort, James had played a season-high 43 minutes just two nights earlier in an overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks, where he contributed 39 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.

Before Sunday’s game, James was initially listed as doubtful. It was subsequently upgraded to “probable” before being downgraded back to “doubtful” after a team walkthrough. Lakers coach JJ Redick said: “If LeBron is out, we have to move, we have to cut, we have to pass. “We have to play in transition. And I think overall it’s important for our team that I go back to really trying to get a touch of color on every possession. We did that at the beginning of the year, got away from it and have to get back to it.” (via ESPN)

While James’ absence is a setback, the Lakers are fortunate to have a four-day break before their next game. Their next game is Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This extended break could allow the 22-year-old veteran to recover and return to the field fully rested. Lakers guard Austin Reaves was also sidelined on Sunday, missing his fifth straight game with a left pelvic contusion.
