He said he “felt a pop.”
LeBron James left midway through the third quarter of the Lakers-Warriors Christmas Day game with a groin injury and never returned. The injury came as he went to post up on Draymond Green, but lost his balance.

According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, “James’ timeline for recovery is considered day to day at this point. However, he will receive a MRI which will give a clearer picture of the extent of the injury.”
The Lakers went on to win without him, 127-101, but how they’ll survive in the future is unclear.
James hasn’t missed a game since April 12, 2017.
