James Set to Miss Opening of NBA Campaign with Sciatica.
James began his NBA path with the Cavaliers in the year 2003.
The Lakers superstar will be absent for around four weeks and will miss the start of the league campaign with sciatic issues, the Los Angeles Lakers have confirmed.
LeBron James, forty, agreed to a new agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers in June and is poised to be the initial competitor to compete across 23 distinct seasons.
Sciatic pain involves pain in the nerve that extends through the lower back and down the leg.
The athlete has not taken part in pre-season and did not play in the losses against the Warriors and the Phoenix earlier this month as a result of the sciatic problem.
James will likely miss for every one of the five of the LA Lakers' games in the month of October, including the opening match against Golden State.
James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, has never previously missed the beginning of the NBA year in his two-decade-plus career.
His count of over 1,500 matches participated in is only 50 away than surpassing former Celtics star Robert Parish's league record.
The four-time NBA champion featured in 70 out of the LA Lakers' 82 games last term and played on 71 games in the previous year.
The previous season, James posted over 24 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game and finished sixth in the MVP award vote.
LA qualified for the postseason in last season but fell four games to one against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round.
