LeBron James was excused from the Los Angeles Lakers’ practice on Wednesday for personal reasons.
LeBron James was excused from the Los Angeles Lakers' practice on Wednesday for personal reasons, coach JJ Redick said. James sat out of the Lakers' victory over Portland on Sunday because of left foot soreness, missing his first game of the season. The top scorer in NBA history also was not at the Lakers' training complex for the first practice during their extended break created by the NBA Cup tournament, but Redick described it as an 'excused absence.
James expressed a desire earlier this season to play in all 82 games, but both he and the Lakers are now being practical with the inevitable minor injuries that arise during any season. James hit a slight shooting slump right after Thanksgiving, but he rebounded during the Lakers' road trip with two outstanding games.
