Multiple reports have indicated that LeBron James will miss at least a week, and potentially even two, with an abdominal strain that he sustained earlier this week. And while Lakers head coach Frank Vogel didn’t give anywhere near that specific of a timeline when discussing the injury on Thursday, he did admit that James is set to “miss some time” — i.e., multiple games — for the second time this season.
“There is obviously concern, but hopefully this is something that’s minimal and hopefully he’ll be back soon,” Vogel told reporters before the team took on the Oklahoma City Thunder in James’ first absence with the injury.
