Lakers Injury Update: LeBron James (Thoracic Muscle Strain) Doubtful To Play Against Nuggets

After the first major injury (groin strain) of his career, there were naturally some doubts about LeBron James heading into the 2019-20 NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, the 34-year-old is averaging 25.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 10.6 assists and has not missed a game yet.

As James recently reiterated he will play as long as he is healthy amid the load management debates, it appears he may potentially miss his first game in his 17th NBA season.

Following the team’s five-game road trip, James is considered doubtful against the Denver Nuggets with a thoracic muscle strain, according to Mike Trudell of Lakers:

LeBron James has a thoracic muscle strain and is doubtful to play tomorrow against Denver.
