As the Lakers are set to play the Minnesota Timberwolves for their Tuesday home showdown, James won't be suiting up due to his lingering hip and foot issues.

This marks the third consecutive absence of LeBron for LA. While he already recovered from his elbow injury in last week's loss against the Denver Nuggets, his right hip contusion and left foot arthritis still keep affecting his availability.

Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt and Jake LaRavia are set to secure increased minutes with James unavailable. Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are set to carry the Lakers once again, with the 41-year-old being sidelined.

The Lakers have prevailed in their last two games despite James' inactivity, and they will look to extend their winning momentum against the surgin Minnesota squad led by Anthony Edwards.
