The Los Angeles Lakers will be without LeBron James on Friday against the Indiana Pacers, the team announced.
Los Angeles will also be missing two of its big men, with Deandre Ayton (knee) and Maxi Kleber ruled out for the matchup.
Injury report impact
James’ absence removes a key piece from the Lakers’ lineup, while the additional losses of Ayton and Kleber further thin the team’s frontcourt rotation for the road game in Indiana.
