Lakers Coach Redick Uncertain of LeBron James' Return; Joel Embiid Suffers Injury

Posted : 14 December 2024

Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick has confirmed that he is uncertain about LeBron James' return to the court after the star player missed his second consecutive game. James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer and a four-time champion, was absent from Sunday's win against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a sore foot and missed practice earlier in the week for personal reasons, according to Redick.

 

When asked before the Lakers' 97-87 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves if he knew when James would be back, Redick responded with a simple, "No." The defeat at the Target Center marked the Lakers' eighth loss in their last 11 games, while the Timberwolves extended their strong form with a fifth win in six games, led by Anthony Edwards’ 23 points and Julius Randle’s 21 points.

 

For the Lakers, Anthony Davis contributed 23 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. The team is preparing to host the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday in hopes of getting back on track after a difficult stretch.

 

Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, Joel Embiid suffered a sinus fracture during the 76ers' 121-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers. The MVP of the 2022-23 season had been making his sixth appearance of the season after missing time due to a knee injury and serving a suspension. Embiid was struck near his cheekbone by Bennedict Mathurin while jumping for a rebound in the second quarter and did not return to the game after receiving treatment on the court.
