LeBron James will miss the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Utah Jazz on Monday due to foot soreness.
James scored 27 points in the Lakers’ 114-110 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
But the four-time NBA MVP had been struggling with illness last week, as well as being troubled by a foot problem.
The Lakers announced that James will not face the Jazz at Vivint Arena in the first game of the week.
Guards Patrick Beverley and Lonnie Walker will also miss the meeting with Utah due to illness.
The Lakers (2-7) have made a poor start to the season, with only the Houston Rockets (1-9) keeping them off the bottom of the Western Conference.
