Opportunity knocks, but will anyone be home to answer? This is the question the young Lakers face in the wake of LeBron James suffering a strained groin that has him listed as “day to day” but will reportedly keep him out for “multiple” games (at least). The super-human James has never dealt with this type of injury, so cautious will be the road traveled as he maps his way back, through recovery and rehab, to the court to play in games.
The Lakers, then, will be without their star but will also be coming off what could be a springboard win over the Warriors on Christmas day.
