Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will not be playing today Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to the team.
He did not accompany the team on its flight, sources told ESPN.
It would give James, who missed Sunday’s game with foot soreness, eight days in between games if he returns Sunday against Memphis.
Because of the NBA Cup, the Lakers are able to take a prudent approach with the schedule to allow James to recalibrate and recharge his body.
