MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Late in the first quarter Tuesday night, LeBron James emerged from the Lakers’ locker room with a baseball cap on backward and a knee-high walking boot on his right foot, the first tangible evidence of the grave situation the Lakers find themselves in during the NBA's final quarter of the season.
While no one is specifying the exact nature of his injury, what the treatment plans are or if a return this season can be assured, they mystery around James and his foot is pretty limited.
He’s out now. No one can say for sure if or when he’ll be back.
