"James went through his pregame shooting routine at Crypto.com Arena prior to the Lakers' team walkthrough and determined he needed more time to get treatment on his left foot before playing in a game, coach JJ Redick said."
"It will be James' third straight missed game -- the longest stretch the 23-year veteran has been out since he was sidelined the first 14 games of the season with sciatica in his lower back and down his right leg."
LeBron James was ruled out for the Lakers' game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to left foot arthritis and a right hip contusion. After completing his pregame shooting routine at Crypto.com Arena, James determined he required additional treatment time for his left foot before returning to game action. This marks his third consecutive absence, representing his longest injury stretch since missing the season's first 14 games with sciatica. Coach JJ Redick indicated James is day-to-day moving forward, with the Lakers' next matchup scheduled for Thursday against the Chicago Bulls.
