LeBron James’ knee injury appears to be worse than the Los Angeles Lakers initially thought.
James left the Lakers on Saturday and flew back to Los Angeles to get treatment on his knee, coach Frank Vogel said on Sunday. An MRI on his knee revealed “general swelling,” and James is now out for the foreseeable future.
“As long as the swelling is there, he is going to be out,” Vogel said, via Spectrum SportsNet. “Hopefully we’ll get him back as soon as we can.”
