LeBron James Sidelined by Foot and Hip Injuries

LeBron James missed his third consecutive game Tuesday against Minnesota due to left foot arthritis and a right hip contusion. The 41-year-old suffered the injuries during a hard fall in last Thursday's loss to Denver. Coach JJ Redick described James as day-to-day, noting he is attempting to ramp up activity. James has missed 21 of the Lakers' 65 games this season, averaging 21.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 7 assists when active.
