3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers small/power forward LeBron James will miss Tuesday's contest against the Kings after landing in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. James initially entered the day questionable to play due to a persistent abdominal injury, but the latest news will keep him out of the mix for at least multiple games. James has appeared in just 11 of the Lakers first 22 games due to a combination of injuries and suspension, with this latest speed bump likely to thrust Talen Horton-Tucker into a larger workload. As was the case earlier in November, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook will shoulder heavier offensive duties, thereby increasing their fantasy upside for the duration of James' absence. Check back for updates to the status of the four-time MVP as they become available.--Jesse Borek
