Stewart repeatedly went after James in anger after taking a blow to the face. James reportedly tried to track down the youngster’s phone number to apologize for the incident.
James’ absence will be a major blow for the Lakers as they face the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
Los Angeles is just 9-9 on the season and will have to face a scrappy Knicks team that is coming off a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
The Lakers and Knicks are scheduled to tip off at 4:30 p.m. PST on Tuesday.
