LeBron James will be absent from the Los Angeles Lakers' upcoming game against Minnesota on Sunday night due to flu-like symptoms. This marks the 11th game of the season that James will miss, with the Lakers managing a 6-4 record in his absence.
In their recent game against Cleveland, the Lakers secured a 116-97 victory with James contributing 24 points and 12 assists. This win propelled the team into eighth place in the Western Conference standings, a significant achievement after a 26-12 surge since midseason.
Despite being 39 years old and in his remarkable 21st NBA season, James has maintained an impressive performance level. He is currently averaging 25.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.2 rebounds in the 68 games he has played this season.
James' absence will undoubtedly impact the Lakers' lineup, but the team has shown resilience in previous games without him. Fans will be eager to see how the Lakers perform against Minnesota in his absence.
