On March 2, the Lakers announced the injury diagnosis for the 19-time NBA All-Star.
Via The Lakers On March 2: "LeBron James has been evaluated by Lakers team physicians and medical staff, and it has been determined that he has sustained a right foot tendon injury. James will be reevaluated in approximately three weeks."
