PHOENIX - LeBron James' preseason is finished, giving the 39-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star a week's rest between games heading into the regular season opener Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
James was held out of the Lakers' game Thursday against the Phoenix Suns and a source familiar with James' plans confirmed to ESPN that the forward will not play in L.A.'s preseason finale Friday against the Golden State Warriors.
TNT's Jared Greenberg first reported James' plans on the Lakers-Suns broadcast.
James is embarking on his 22nd season, tying Vince Carter for the most in league history.
