LeBron James update: Lakers star misses another game with groin injury
LOS ANGELES -- LeBron James did not play for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Denver Nuggets at Crypto.Com Arena on Wednesday.
James is continuing to miss time after he had suffered a strained left groin muscle against the Boston Celtics on March 8. His injury led to him leaving the team’s road trip early to begin his recovery process at home.
Even without James, the Lakers had managed to win back-to-back games after they had lost four games in a row on the road.
Dorian Finney-Smith has served as a replacement in the starting lineup in place of James.

When is the Lakers' next game?
The Lakers will host the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday and the Chicago Bulls on Saturday before playing the next four games on the road.
