LeBron James out vs. Philadelphia tonight with a knee injury

Lakers say LeBron James is out tonight vs. 76ers with a knee injury, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

ANALYSIS: This is not good timing for the Lakers seeing how they're barely staying in the play-in picture. The Lakers are currently one game ahead of New Orleans in the race and three games ahead of San Antonio. If this knee injury turns out to be a long-standing issue, that could be the final death blow.
