LeBron James limped out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 111-101 defeat by the Boston Celtics with a groin injury.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 40-year-old left the court during a timeout in the fourth quarter after he contested a layup with Jaylen Brow.<\/p>\n

James scored 22 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists before his exit with six minutes and 44 seconds left to play.<\/p>\n

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer missed 17 games with a groin problem in 2018 but said he did “not have much concern” about this setback.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been there before and I know what type of injury we’re dealing with,” said James, who passed 50,000 career points<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I’m day-to-day. I’ll look at it each day and see if it gets better, and take the proper measures to see what I need to do moving forward.”<\/p>\n

Jayson Tatum bagged 40 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists as the Celtics held off a late rally from the Lakers, spearheaded by Slovenian Luka Doncic, to secure their fourth straight win.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Stephen Curry passed 25,000 NBA career points during the Golden State Warriors’ 115-110 victory over the Detroit Pistons.<\/p>\n

Curry became the 26th player in NBA history to reach the milestone when he claimed a three-pointer in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old finished with 32 points, taking his total to 25,017, but said he had not been keeping track of his overall tally.<\/p>\n

“It was a surprise actually. I knew I was coming up on it but I didn’t think about it until I heard it in game,” Curry said.<\/p>\n

“I think 10 guys have done it with one franchise, so that’s pretty special. The names that are on that list are synonymous with basketball history, so that’s pretty cool.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
