LeBron James is unlikely to play Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, per ESPN. After missing Sunday’s game due to foot soreness, James could return Sunday against Memphis, allowing for eight days of rest.
Thanks to the NBA Cup schedule, the Lakers are taking a cautious approach to manage the workload of the four-time MVP as he nears his 40th birthday. This season, James is averaging 23 points, 9.1 assists, and 8 rebounds per game.
