The Los Angeles Lakers had been thriving since trading for Luka Dončić, climbing all the way to the No. 2 seed in the West. But, after LeBron James suffered a left groin strain Saturday against the Boston Celtics, the Lakers are now facing a stretch where they may be down three starters.

LeBron James, Luka Dončić and the Los Angeles Lakers will be playing against the Brooklyn Nets tonight. As the season enters its final stages, most of the teams across the league are struggling to establish a spot for themselves in the playoffs.

There is a massive sigh of relief reverberating throughout Los Angeles today in the wake of LeBron James‘s diagnosis of his groin injury. LeBron missed the final minutes of the 111-101 loss to the Boston Celtics on prime-time television over the weekend.
