<\/h2>\n\n\nLOS ANGELES. Star forward LeBron James<\/strong> will not be available this Tuesday for the match between the Los Angeles Lakers<\/strong> and the San Antonio Spurs<\/strong>, a situation that marks the end of one of the most impressive streaks in league history.\n\n\n

You may be interested in:<\/strong> Stephen Curry will miss the 2026 All-Star due to knee discomfort<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nThe 41-year-old veteran was ruled out due to arthritis in his left foot, amid the team’s load management strategy on the second night of back-to-back games. With this absence \u2014the 18th of the season\u2014 James no longer meets the minimum number of games required to be eligible for individual honors, ending a streak of 21 consecutive seasons being selected to at least one of the All-NBA teams.\n\nThe last time the four-time champion didn’t make an All-NBA team was in the 2003-2004 season, his debut year with the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/strong>.\n\n\n

Lakers Hit by Injuries<\/h3>\n\n\nJames’ absence adds to a significant list. Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/strong> will miss his third consecutive game due to a hamstring strain; Austin Reaves<\/strong> remains limited after calf problems; and Marcus Smart<\/strong> will also be unavailable due to discomfort in his right ankle.\n\nThe frequent absences have affected the stability of the Los Angeles team, which is trying to remain competitive in a demanding season with the NBA All-Star Game 2026<\/strong> on the horizon.\n\n\n

Self-criticism after the defeat<\/h3>\n\n\nAfter Monday’s loss to the reigning champion, the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/strong>, LeBron was self-critical and avoided making excuses for the injuries.\n\n“They are a champion team, we are not. We can’t sustain the energy and effort for 48 minutes, and they can,” said the forward, who scored 22 points in that game, 14 of them in the second half.\n\nJames also admitted to physical wear and tear after more than 35 minutes on the court: “I’m tired,” he declared, after the Lakers saw a three-game winning streak interrupted.\n\nThe absence of the “King” not only impacts the team’s immediate present, but also closes a historical chapter in its extraordinary career within the NBA.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
