"EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who has yet to participate in training camp, will be sidelined an additional 3-4 weeks because of sciatica on his right side, the team announced Thursday. James, 40, missed the Lakers first two preseason games and has yet to participate in a full practice because of what Lakers coach JJ Redick described as nerve irritation in his glute."
"When asked for an update on James' progress with the injury on Thursday, prior to the Lakers releasing the sciatica diagnosis, Redick said James was "on his own timeline." Should James continue to be sidelined for the full 3-4 weeks, he would miss the Lakers' opening night game against the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 21. ESPN's Shams Charania reported this week that James would likely miss the entire preseason, but had been targeting opening night for his return to game action."
