The Los Angeles Lakers were dealt a massive blow over the weekend as LeBron James picked up a groin strain during their loss to the Boston Celtics. James has been sidelined for an indefinite period, which many are speculating will be a few weeks although he's officially said his status will be 'game-to-game' based on his health.

As he suspected postgame Saturday night, early indications are LeBron James avoided a serious injury to his left groin muscle, according to a person close to the situation not authorized to discuss it publicly.

The injury came as James drove to the basket against Jaylen Brown. He attempted a spin move and followed that up with two head fakes, eventually converting the layup. James had a slight limp after the score, but attempted to play defense on the next possession.
