Unfortunately for the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James will not be able to face off against Victor Wembanyama in tonight’s game against the San Antonio Spurs due to a calf ιnjury.

The Los Angeles Lakers star, Victor Wembanyama, was ruled out of tonight’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, meaning that LeBron James will have to wait to face off with the newest star in the NBA.

The team confirmed thirty minutes before tip-off that James, 38, would not be playing tonight due to his left leg ιnjury.

Despite beginning the season on a pitch count to protect his body, James has participated in 23 of the 25 games played by the Lakers.With his 25.3 PPG, he has been a major contributor to the Lakers’ 14-10 record thus far this season.

As he starts to feel at home in the NBA amid intense scrutiny, Wembanyama averages 18.8 points per game while his Spurs fall to a dismal 3-19 record.It appears doubtful that Wednesday night’s game against the Lakers, who will be in town, would end the team’s 16-game losing run.

LeBron and company are about to embark on a road trip after becoming the first team in NBA In-Season Tournament history to win the trophy in Las Vegas, where they defeated the Indiana Pacers.

Following Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks, James will sit out Wednesday’s contest in order to heal from his ιnjury.

After splitting their time between San Antonio and Los Angeles, the Lakers will play host to the hоt New York Knicks before making the journey to Chicago.
