Lakers' LeBron James Out vs. Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves with Flu-like Symptoms

Scott PolacekApr 7, 2024

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will miss Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to flu-like symptoms.

James, who is playing in his 21st season at 39 years old. has played in 68 games for a team battling for position in the Western Conference playoff picture.

Even if the all-time great isn't quite the player he was at his peak, he has still been excellent once again in 2023-24 and is averaging 25.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.2 rebounds a night while shooting 53 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from deep.

Los Angeles has struggled with consistency at times this season but has found a rhythm of late, winning nine of its past 10 games. With that momentum, the Lakers remain a threat to make a deep run in the playoffs thanks in large part to the presence of James and Anthony Davis.

Look for Taurean Prince to see more playing time with James out.
