LeBron James sustained the injury in the third quarter of the Lakers' win over the Mavericks on Sunday and left the arena with a signficant limp.
At 29-32 and in 12th place in the Western Conference, the Lakers are trying to get into the playoffs. They are just a game behind 10th-place New Orleans for a spot in the play-in games and just 2½ games behind sixth-place Dallas for a guaranteed spot in the playoffs.
If the Lakers miss the playoffs, it will be just the second time in James’ career that he has missed the playoffs. The last time? Go back nearly two decades to his first two seasons in the league in 2003-04 and 2004-05. Before the Feb. 9 trade deadline, the Lakers acquired Rui Hachimura from Washington, D’Angelo Russell from Minnesota and Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt from Utah. Russell missed Sunday’s game with a right ankle sprain and is listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game.
“I’ve always been confident in any club I’ve been on, once we got to the playoffs that we can compete with anyone," James said in Salt Lake City.
