According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, LeBron, who did his first on-court workout on Sunday, will be out at least until next week, with March 24 being the potential date for his return when the Lakers visit the Orlando Magic. Meanwhile, Rui Hachimura, who had left patellar tendinopathy, is expected to return this week.

The Lakers, the league's best defense since Jan. 15, will have to rely more on that end of the floor to generate transition offense.

LeBron James could miss one-to-two weeks with a groin strain, the injury he suffered during Saturday night's Los Angeles Lakers 111-101 loss to the Boston Celtics. ESPN's Shams Charania reported the news on Sunday.
