Lakers star LeBron James will miss his first game of the season Sunday night against Portland because of left foot soreness.
Covered the Lakers and NBA for ESPNLosAngeles.com from 2009-14, the Cavaliers from 2014-18 for ESPN.com and the NBA for NBA.com from 2005-09.On the season, James is averaging 23 points on 49.5% shooting , 9.1 assists and 8.0 rebounds -- by far the most productive by any player in league history to stay in the league long enough to reach the stage that James has reached.
"With LeBron out, we're going to have to move, we're going to have to cut, we're going to have to pass," Lakers coach JJ Redick said before the Blazers game."We're going to have to play in transition. And I think overall for our team, just getting back to really emphasize trying to get a paint touch on every possession. We were doing that earlier in the year and have gotten away from that and need to get back to that.
