Here we are talking about Lebron James Illness. Due to a non-COVID sickness, LeBron James was unable to participate in the Lakers’ 112-109 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.
James, who is feeling under the weather with what coach Darvin Ham described as a regular cold, was advised to stay at home and “get fluids, get meds, and feel well,” according to Coach Ham before the game.
With the Heat on the schedule, Los Angeles started Austin Reaves, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Thomas Bryant, Patrick Beverley, and Dennis Schroder. James will have to halt his recent hot play.

The 20-year veteran has scored 40 points in back-to-back games since turning 38, becoming him the oldest player to do so since Michael Jordan.
James has scored 34.5 points on 58.2% of his shots over his last 11 games, and Los Angeles has a 6-5 record. Anthony Davis has missed eight of those games due to a fractured bone spur and stress reaction on his right foot.

According to the Lakers, Lonnie Walker IV will also miss his third straight game due to a bruised tailbone. L.A. arrived home Tuesday after a five-game road trip.
Prior to returning to the road for a two-game trip in Sacramento on Saturday and Denver on Monday, the Lakers visit the Heat on Wednesday and the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.
Update for tonight from the Lakers:
LeBron James (non-COVID illness) and Lonnie Walker IV (left knee soreness) have been downgraded to OUT for tonight’s game vs. Miami.
