Lakers' James returns to Los Angeles for treatment on knee

LeBron James has continued swelling in his left knee and is not with the Los Angeles Lakers against the Atlanta Hawks

JANUARY 30, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

MRI reveals swelling James underwent an MRI that showed general swelling in his left knee, and he returned to Los Angeles on Sunday to receive treatment, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact James was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Hawks, and head coach Frank Vogel said the forward will remain sidelined until the swelling subsides. The 37-year-old should thus be viewed as somewhere between questionable and doubtful for Wednesday's game versus Portland, while the Lakers offense should continue to flow through Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook in the meantime.

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been ruled out Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets

JANUARY 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Out Friday James (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact A sore left knee is forcing James to miss a second straight game, and it's his first set of back-to-back absences since mid-November. With Anthony Davis (wrist) also sidelined, the Lakers will have to get a little creative in the frontcourt. More minutes could be available for Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, Trevor Ariza and others.

Questionable Friday James (knee) is questionable for Friday's game at Charlotte, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact James sat out his first game since Nov. 30 on Thursday due to left knee soreness, but he may be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. The Lakers could be significantly shorthanded Friday with Malik Monk (groin) out and Anthony Davis (wrist), Russell Westbrook (knee) and Avery Bradley (illness) also questionable.

LA's LeBron James sits out vs 76ers with sore left knee

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has a sore left knee and will miss Thursday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers

JANUARY 27, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Out Thursday James (knee) is out Thursday against the 76ers and is considered day-to-day, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thursday marks James' first missed game since Nov. 30. He's been on a tear since then and has notably taken at least 20 shots in each of the past seven games, with averages of 29.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.0 minutes. Given the sort of workload and role James has endured at his age, it's not too surprising he's dealing with a sore knee, so he'll sit out the front end of the Thursday-Friday back-to-back. In his absence, more minutes could be available for Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker.
