Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has apparently started thinking about what he wants his NBA retirement to look like down the stretch of his age-41 season.

Did LeBron James just suffer from friendly fire? It might be the case, as during the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers game, Stu Lantz made a questionable comment. It came after Pacers’ TJ McConnell appeared to take a hard hit from Jaxson Hayes.

LeBron James, who took a nasty fall on Thursday after making a layup and hurt his elbow, will be out of action. So will starting center Deandre Ayton, who left Thursday's game early and was ruled out due to knee soreness, and backup big man Maxi Kleber.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luka Doncic scored 44 points in the first three quarters Friday night, overcoming LeBron James' absence and leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 128-117 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

LeBron James will be out after hurting his elbow late in Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, and Deandre Ayton, who left Thursday's game early with knee soreness, will also sit out. Backup big man Maxi Kleber will miss another game due to a back ailment.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards reveals his all-time starting 5, leaving Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James off the lineup.
