LeBron James underwent MRI, general swelling revealed as he returns to Los Angeles

The hits just keep on coming for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Anthony Davis’ return to the Lakers last week against the Nets gave the team hope of a second half of the season filled with the team’s Big Three of Davis, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook finding their stride. But, as has been the case all season long, injuries have altered the team’s course.

James will miss his third straight game on Sunday against the Hawks with what has been described as left knee soreness. Head coach Frank Vogel revealed before the game on Sunday some more details on the extent of the injury and that James had already returned to the West Coast on Saturday to get started with treatment.
