Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has yet to play this season. In the weeks prior to the regular season beginning, James was ruled out with a sciatica on his right side and was expected to miss the first few weeks.
The Lakers are 2-2 so far without James, but that includes two games in which Luka Doncic and multiple other rotation players did not play either.
The rumored expectation was that LeBron would return to the Lakers lineup in mid-November. And while there hasn’t been any more specificity than that, the Lakers have done relatively well to hold down the fort without him so far.
