All-Star forward LeBron James is expected to miss 1-2 weeks after injuring his left groin in a game against the Celtics. Despite his impressive performance of nearly a triple-double, James was forced to leave the game in the fourth quarter after tweaking his groin while making a post move. The Lakers’ eight-game winning streak was halted by the Celtics, and James’ absence will be felt as the team navigates a tight Western Conference playoff race. James tried to downplay the severity of the injury, but the Lakers will need to adjust without their star player. With James out, more responsibility will fall on Luka Doncic, who joined the team in a midseason trade. The Lakers are currently in the No. 3 seed in the West, having won eight of their last ten games. Fans will be watching closely to see how the team performs in James’ absence and how they adapt to the new challenge.
