LOS ANGELES — The Because of symptoms similar to those of the flu, LeBron James will not be participating in the game that the Los Angeles Lakers will play against Minnesota on Sunday night.

The Lakers made the announcement that James will be absent from his eleventh game of the season three hours before the game took place. Without the player who holds the record for most points scored in NBA history, Los Angeles has a record of 6-4.

During their victory over Cleveland on Saturday, the Lakers won their ninth game in a row, 116-97. James contributed 24 points and 12 assists to the Lakers’ triumph. With this victory, the Los Angeles Lakers have finally climbed up to eighth place in the Western Conference rankings for the first time since late December. This is despite the fact that Los Angeles has been on a streak of 26-12 since the middle of the season.

During his 21st season in the National Basketball Association, James, who is 39 years old, has been spectacular, averaging 25.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 7.2 rebounds in 68 games.

After suffering a difficult defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Suns, the Minnesota Timberwolves are continuing their battle for the top seed in the Western Conference to secure the position.
