On Christmas Day, the Los Angeles Lakers were playing in the biggest game of the day against the Golden State Warriors. With this being the first matchup between LeBron James on the Lakers against the defending champions, there was certainly a big game feel.
The Lakers got off to a strong start against the Warriors with LeBron leading the way, but we saw him go down in the third quarter with a groin injury. Cameras picked up LeBron saying that he heard a pop when talking to trainers after the injury.
James went to the locker room and never returned.
