ANALYSIS: ESPN added that the Lakers' medical staff "wants to take their time" with James' recovery, especially considering it's still early in the season.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel had this to say about LeBron's injury (via ESPN): "Anytime LeBron's out and he's going to miss some time there's obviously concern," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said before Thursday's game. "Hopefully this is something that's minimal, and hopefully he'll be back soon."

Expect an update on LeBron's status next week.
