The Lakers will be without LeBron James to start the 2025-26 NBA season as the 40-year-old is dealing with a lingering injury, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
James is set to be sidelined for the next 3-4 weeks while dealing with sciatica in his right side. James has been out of commission during the preseason, and now it seems that his absence will extend in to the regular season, too.
