"Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will miss opening night of his record 23rd NBA season against the Warriors due to sciatica that will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks, the team announced Thursday. The 40-year-old superstar will be sidelined at least until the end of October with sciatica pain in the nerves running from the buttocks and down the back of the legs on his right side."
"The Lakers held their sixth full practice of camp Thursday without the top scorer in NBA history, who also missed both of their first two preseason games while he worked to get back into competitive condition. You've got to play the cards you're dealt, Redick said. That's a shame, but that's just the reality. No one has got any time with LeBron. That's not just (new center Deandre Ayton), but everybody."
LeBron James will miss opening night and will be sidelined at least until the end of October with right-side sciatica, and his condition will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks. He has not participated in a full practice since training camp began and missed both preseason games while managing the lower-body nerve injury. The Lakers announced a timeline that likely means James will miss at least five or six early regular-season games. Coach JJ Redick said James is on his own timeline. The team is conducting most of training camp and installing offense largely without James on the court while integrating Luka Doncic and new players.
