LeBron James aggravated a right groin injury in the first quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 111-106 loss Wednesday and could be forced to miss some time, ESPN reported Thursday. It was on Christmas Day in 2018 that James tore his left groin against the Golden State Warriors, and he was limited to just 55 games on the season. The Denver game was the only one James has missed on the season, and he has said he doesn’t believe in the idea of load management. The Lakers play at the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, then travel home to meet the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. “To be honest, I haven’t even thought about Portland just yet,” said James, who turns 35 next week.
