According to a report from Shams Charania, it was revealed that LeBron would have to miss tonight's game against Sacramento Kings as he was told to enter health and safety protocols. Now, however, it appears as though things are actually much worse for LeBron.

This is a horrible situation for the Lakers, who could very well end up losing out on LeBron for up to 4 or 5 games.
