Los Angeles Lakers’ veteran LeBron James did not play in the San Antonio Spurs match due to multiple injuries on Wednesday. James scored 30 points, eight rebounds and as many assists against the New Orleans Pelicans in 33 minutes but he did not play in the 107-91 loss against the Spurs.

The veteran was ruled out just one hour before the start due to left foot joint arthritis and right sciatica. James sat out the first 14 games of the season because of the sciatica that affects his lower back and down his right leg.

“Every back-to-back, for the rest of the season, is TBD,” James said. “I am 41. I got the most minutes in NBA history. Bank [that answer] right now.”

Lakers coach JJ Redick revealed the decision to sit James before the Spurs game.

“A lot of it is based on his injuries and just the management of those,” Redick said. “His foot typically after a game is sore. So that’s the primary thing. I talked to him today in the meal room. We were hoping that he gets to the point where he can play in back-to-backs with his body. But this stretch and this month, it’s going to be tough to say that.

“We hope he’s available, but a lot of it is how he wakes up the next morning.”

On the other hand, Lakers reserve guard Gabe Vincent returned from a nine-game absence because of a lower back injury to play against San Antonio.

The Lakers will next take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
