Tthe Los Angeles Lakers’ 132-122 win over Sacramento on Saturday night in the Kings’ first game under interim coach Doug Christie.

On Saturday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will be without LeBron James when they host the Sacramento Kings. According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, James has been ruled out due to an illness. The four-time NBA Champion is averaging 23.

The Lakers have a packed injury report for Saturday's matchup, with superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis both given a "questionable" designation. The Lakers are 3-0 against the Kings this season, and having their All-Star duo available on Saturday would give them a likely chance to sweep the season series.

LeBron James missed his third game of the season Saturday versus the Kings due to an illness, but coach JJ Redick said he is "just a little under the weather."

Superstar forward LeBron James' status for Saturday night's game against the Sacramento Kings at home is finally known.

That was the message that new head coach Doug Christie had given to the Kings’ players after taking over the big chair in the wake of Mike Brown being fired. Christie emphasized it several times Saturday night, “And this is a message that I said to them — there is enough in this locker room.”
