    All-Star Los Angeles Lakers combo forward LeBron James unfortunately skipped practice with the club today., ahead of a road matchup against the team directly behind it in the Western Conference standings -- the 27-26 Golden State Warriors. LA is 30-26, having won six of its last seven bouts. 

    Jovan Buha of The Athletic reveals that James’ absence was an excused one, and he is set to travel separately and meet his comrades in San Francisco tomorrow, prior to the Chase Center bout.

    Ultimately this is positive news. James sat out the second half of an incredibly boring All-Star Game Sunday with an ankle injury, and it seemed possible then he could miss this matchup. It sure sounds like he plans to play.
