LeBron misses Lakers' first practice of training camp due to minor injury, focus on long-term health

LeBron James sat out of the Los Angeles Lakers' first practice of training camp with a minor injury Tuesday. James has “a little bit of nerve irritation in the glute," coach JJ Redick said after the workout at the Lakers' training complex. James will become the first player in NBA history to play 23 seasons when the Lakers open the regular season on Oct. 21 against Golden State.
