LeBron James misses Lakers practice: what's the issue?

The NBA regular season is currently on a brief pause for the NBA Cup playoffs, but teams continue preparing for the rest of the season.

However, LeBron James was notably absent from the Lakers' latest practice.

Details: According to head coach JJ Redick, the Los Angeles star is currently away from the team due to personal reasons. Redick mentioned that James has been given some time off to focus on himself. It remains unclear if he will be available for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Notably, this season LeBron and Bronny James made history as the first father-son duo to play together in the NBA for the same team. But LeBron seems far from finished achieving milestones.

This season, LeBron James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, is averaging 22.3 points per game.

Reminder: It was recently revealed that the jerseys worn by LeBron and his son during their first game together have been sold for $102,000.
