ANALYSIS: Charania adds that James will be out at least 10 days, or until he returns two negative COVID-19 tests in a 24-hour period. The Lakers' superstar has already come back from an abdominal strain this season, but is now missing extended time again as the Lakers hover at .500. It is unclear if James has COVID-19 at this time.
