The Los Angeles Lakers are preparing to make a run at the post-season without megastar forward LeBron James, according to reports.
James has suffered a tendon injury in his right foot after falling awkwardly against the Dallas Mavericks, and was seen telling team-mates he heard his foot "pop" in scary scenes.
The NBA's all-time leading points scorer was able to play through the remainder of the game, but was subsequently ruled out indefinitely while tests were carried out on the 38-year-old. Now, however, the Lakers have learned James has suffered a right tendon injury and will miss at least three weeks of action.
