LOS ANGELES — Ever one for discriminating taste, LeBron James showed up to Friday’s game dressed in a gray sweater and matching pants.James sat out against the Detroit Pistons, missing his third straight game with what the Lakers have called a left adductor strain. He’s been out since having to leave early in a loss to the Clippers last week, grabbing at his left groin – which he injured in 2018, resulting in significant missed time.
But there has to be some growing concern on the Lakers’ front given James’ recent injury history after his fourth missed game of the season. The four-time league MVP has only played more than 56 games once in his four previous Lakers seasons, and with his 38th birthday approaching on Dec. 30, the man who has played the second-most minutes – when accounting for regular season and playoffs combined – of any player in NBA history isn’t getting any younger.
Still, Ham said James has been one of the vocal leaders during the past week, helping drive a passionate Saturday film session that helped lead to their Sunday victory over Brooklyn. Veteran guard Dennis Schröder said he thought James had been taking on more of a vocal role since getting hurt, both on the bench and behind the scenes.
