LOS ANGELES — LeBron James is doubtful to play Friday against the Sacramento Kings with what the Lakers are calling a "strained left adductor." While he's day to day, he easily could miss Sunday's game against Brooklyn as well.
James, who suffered the injury during the fourth quarter in a loss to the Clippers on Wednesday night, underwent an MRI exam Thursday that revealed no tearing in or near his groin muscle.
"It's not torn, that's the biggest thing, that he didn't tear anything," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. "So it was good news. You know, I'm sure it's painful. Doubtful, day to day, whatever — I'm just happy there wasn't anything torn."
