- LeBron James misses another Lakers game; coach JJ Redick remains mum on star's return
How long will the Los Angeles Lakers be without LeBron James ?
Time will tell. JJ Redick will not.
James has been away from the Lakers since Wednesday for what Redick has called personal reasons. James missed their game in Minnesota – another loss – on Friday night for soreness in his left foot. He missed last Sundays game – a win against Portland – with the same ailment.

When asked before the Timberwolves game if he knew when James would return, Redick replied: No.
James, who turns 40 on Dec. 30, has missed two of 25 games after saying before the season that one of his goals was playing in all 82 regular-season games. The Lakers are scheduled to play again Sunday, at home against Memphis . They are 13-12 and have dropped eight of their past 11 games.
In James' 23 starts, the Lakers are 12-11. He has registered 13 double-doubles, seven triple-doubles and averages 23 points, 8 rebounds and 9.1 assists.
Meanwhile, his son Bronny is playing in the G League and scored a career-high 30 points in his first road game with the South Bay Lakers on Thursday.
