Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James is expected to miss at least one more week due to his strained groin. James has missed the last three games for Los Angeles.
Due to rescheduled games, the Lakers play five games over the next week. Los Angeles has two sets of back-to-backs this week against the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs, followed by the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers have lost four consecutive games. The downturn has seen Los Angeles fall from second place in the Western Conference to fifth place over the last week.
