LeBron James will miss Monday’s game against the Spurs with “significant” soreness in his left knee, Lakers coach Frank Vogel announced prior to tip-off.
“With the heavy load that he’s carrying for us this year, we know that it’s always a possibility,” Vogel said of James sitting out. “I think that’s why we continue to list him as questionable to see how it’s responding over the 48 hours between games. And this is just one of those days where it was significant enough to hold him out.”
James, 37, missed five games because of knee soreness from late January until early February.
