LeBron James Battles Through Shin Issue Friday
1 year agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James played through a shin injury as the team opened the in-season tournament with a 122-119 victory over the Suns on Friday. James hurt his shin in the first quarter but still logged 36 minutes and put up a team-high 32 points. He finished with 11-for-17 shooting from the field and had a 3-for-4 record from outside while also bagging a double-double with 11 rebounds and picking up six assists with one steal and one block. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but James' status for Sunday's contest against Portland definitely needs monitoring by fantasy managers.
