LeBron James (left groin) is increasing his on-court activity and will have another injury update on January 16.

James was already ruled out for Friday, and this means he’ll also miss home games on Sunday (vs. Cleveland) and Tuesday (vs. Chicago).

Depending upon the next injury update, he could be activated for away games on January 17 and 19.

Until then, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram will carry the scoring load with Josh Hart soaking up some minutes with Lonzo Ball enjoying plenty of time on-ball.
