While LeBron James looked hardly bothered after banging legs with Kevin Durant during the first quarter of Friday’s game against the Suns, it was an injury that certainly lingered.
After discussing how it was hurting postgame, it probably should have come as little surprise that he did not play in Sunday’s game against the Blazers. Fairly early in the day, LeBron was ruled out due to the left calf contusion.
Before the game, head coach Darvin Ham talked about LeBron’s injury and his decision to sit him.
“He had some issues with that shin,” Ham said.
