The Los Angeles Lakers opened training camp without LeBron James, held out due to mild nerve irritation in his glute. Coach JJ Redick said the aim is to have him ready for opening night vs. the Warriors.

James, turning 41 in December, enters his 23rd NBA season, a league record. Redick noted it will be a “longer ramp-up” to preserve the veteran for the postseason.

The four-time champion still led vocally from the sidelines. He will miss Friday’s preseason opener against the Suns, with his status monitored daily.
