Lakers News: LeBron James Dealing With New Injury, Doubtful vs. Denver Nuggets

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is being listed as doubtful against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night, as he is dealing with a thoracic muscle strain around his rib cage.

The injury seems to have occurred during the Lakers’ game against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. James struggled in that game as he finished with just 20 points on 40.0 percent shooting to go along with nine rebounds and nine assists in a losing effort.

In the team’s next match against the Milwaukee Bucks, James again struggled for the second game in a row as it looks like he was being affected not only by this most recent injury but a bit of a cold as well.
