James Set to Miss Beginning of National Basketball Association Campaign with Sciatica.
LeBron James commenced his career with the Cleveland team in the year 2003.
James has been ruled out for approximately a month and will miss the beginning of the league campaign because of sciatic issues, Lakers stated.
James, forty, agreed to a new agreement with the LA team in the month of June and is set to become the first player to participate across 23 individual campaigns.
Sciatic pain involves pain in the sciatic nerve that travels down the lower back and through the leg.
The athlete did not participate in exhibition games and did not play in the games against the Golden State and the Phoenix Suns recently because of the sciatic problem.
The veteran will likely miss for every one of the five of the LA Lakers' games in October, featuring the opening match against Golden State Warriors.
LeBron James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, has not missed before the start of the campaign in his 22-year career.
The number of one thousand five hundred sixty-two matches participated in is just 50 short than breaking former Celtics star Robert Parish's all-time record.
The title winner played in 70 out of the team's eighty-two games the previous campaign and played on 71 occasions in the year before.
Last season, the player posted over 24 points, 8.2 assists per game and nearly 8 rebounds per game and finished sixth in the Most Valuable Player vote.
LA reached the playoffs in last season but fell four games to one against the Minnesota in the opening round.
