The four-time NBA champion sprinted inside the paint on offense. Jonathan Kuminga got in his way. James pushed off from Kuminga awkwardly and grimaced on the floor in pain. The moment took place during the first half.
The 40-year-old spent a lengthy time on the Crypto Arena floor. Even pounding his open left hand on the floor. Play got stopped momentarily during the first quarter. Multiple trainers and even Lakers teammates immediately attended to him.
James already entered the game as a question mark. Then he appeared to hit his abdomen. He eventually returned to action after the scary moment.
