Follow usThe Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James may miss multiple weeks with an injury to his right foot, according to several media reports on Monday night.
Neither James nor the Lakers announced anything about a long-term absence.
The Lakers had already ruled the NBA’s all-time leading scorer out for Tuesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies with what they called right foot soreness.
The full extent of the injury is not yet known and more test results were pending, said a person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
On Sunday, James played 37 minutes in the Lakers’ 111-108 win over the Dallas Mavericks, helping Los Angeles rally from a 27-point deficit.
But he left the arena with a pronounced limp.
James got hurt in the third quarter, grabbing at the ankle after spending some time on the floor in obvious pain. But he stayed in to finish the game, noting how important it was to the Lakers’ playoff hopes.
