Lebron James to miss game due to COVID-19 protocols

It is unclear whether four-time champion Lebron James had tested positive for the virus or was simply in close contact to someone who had the virus.

Los Angeles Lakers’ forward LeBron James has entered the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will miss Tuesday night’s road game against the Sacramento Kings, the team said.

James has only competed in 11 of the Lakers’ 22 games this season after being sidelined with an abdominal strain and serving a one-game suspension for an on-court incident against the Detroit Piston.
