As a precaution on Sunday, the rookie, who made his team debut on Saturday during their loss to the Sacramento Kings at the Chase Center in San Francisco, was not used. In their tournament-ending matchup with the Miami Heat on Wednesday, he is anticipated to participate.
James participated in 21 minutes of the Lakers’ 108-94 loss to the Kings on Saturday. Despite shooting just 2-of-9 from the field and 0-of-3 from beyond the arc, he finished the game with four points and two rebounds.
