LeBron James has been ruled out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ game at Minnesota on Friday night due to soreness in his left foot.
James will miss his second straight game when the Lakers return from a four-day break to face the Timberwolves, the Lakers announced Thursday.
The top scorer in NBA history was away from the team this week with an excused absence attributed to “personal reasons,” coach JJ Redick said Wednesday. It’s unclear whether James will play one of the next upcoming Lakers games.
Insider at the Lakers headquarter say that Le Bron is „seriously thinking about leaving the Lakers and having a trade to the Golden State Warriors in the upcoming weeks“.
The relationship between Le Bron and his former best friend JJ Reddick (whom he installed at the Lakers -even without prior experience in the NBA – as new head coach at the beginning of the new season) has soured in the last days.
James is on an all-time low of three-pointers (made 0 in the last 4 games) and on an all-time high of turn-overs and mostly responsible that the Lakers lost 7 of their last 10 games.
