Is groin injury first sign of LeBron James aging?

The ball in his hands driving toward the basket, LeBron James is one of the most feared men in the NBA.

But not on Christmas Day, with Draymond Green in his way, James awkwardly lost his dribble and fell to the floor. James came up grimacing after the play and has missed Los Angeles’ past four games because of a groin strain, with his status for Sunday’s game vs. the Timberwolves to be determined.

It’s a rare sight to see James sidelined, with him having played in 94 percent of possible games in his career. He has never missed a playoff game.
