Tikteknu: today's summary clip in Sport, 27.2 (Sport1)
Just yesterday (Sunday) LeBron James led the Lakers to a tremendous comeback and victory in Dallas after a 27-point deficit in the second quarter.
But now it turns out that this game cost the all-time king of baskets dearly, who will be absent for several weeks following a difficult injury to his right foot.
James, 38, fell badly on his leg during the third quarter during a drive to the basket against Dallas.
He limped a bit, but continued to play despite the discomfort and finished the game with 26 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter.
But now it turns out that this injury is more serious than they initially thought and he will undergo additional tests for a more accurate diagnosis.
Will the Lakers manage without him?

James, who also missed several games before the All-Star break with an ankle injury, said during All-Star week that he now has "23 of the most important games of his career" ahead of him.
He may be exaggerating, but the Lakers are in bad shape in the West and are currently only in 10th place and may be out of the playoffs.
The overall record of the Lakers without LeBron is 62:36 and this season they lost nine of the 14 games they played without him.
The Lakers have an away game against Oklahoma City and then return home to host Minnesota on Friday.
The big star will definitely be absent from these games and it is not clear when he will return.
