LeBron James' injury prolongs Lakers' struggles in playoffs

LeBron James will be sidelined for at least another week due to a left groin strain. His injury, sustained on March 8, has led the Lakers to adopt a cautious approach to his recovery. The Lakers have struggled in his absence, experiencing a series of losses that have impacted their standing in the Western Conference. The team is monitoring his recovery closely, with a day-to-day assessment. As the playoffs approach, the Lakers face challenges without their star player. Other team members have stepped up, but inconsistencies remain a concern as they aim for a postseason spot.
