The Los Angeles Lakers have to do a few games in the National Basketball Association (NBA) without superstar LeBron James. The 36-year-old fell out on Thursday before the 104:10 home defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an abdominal muscle injury. According to US media reports on Friday, James will have to take at least a week off. James had already missed two games since the start of the season due to ankle problems.
“Every time LeBron goes down and will miss a certain amount of time, it is of course worrying. Hopefully it’s something small this time and he’ll be back soon, ”said Lakers coach Frank Vogel. The Californians, who have another star player in their ranks in Anthony Davis, hold after nine games with a victory record of 5: 4.
Only the second loss of the season set it for the Miami Heat. The Florida team had to admit defeat to the Boston Celtics at home with 78:95 after the last five wins in a row. Miami lost the lead in the Eastern Conference to the Philadelphia 76ers, who achieved their fifth win in a row with 109: 98 at the Detroit Pistons. League top riders are still the Utah Jazz after a 116: 98 at the Atlanta Hawks.
