groin

Austin Reaves, who needed to take on a more prominent offensive role with LeBron James out because of a groin strain, never got it going.

James, who is out after injuring his groin against the Celtics, hasn’t publicly addressed the matter.

As the Lakers’ huddled, James gingerly tried to stretch his groin muscle before walking across the court to meet with his trainer, Mike Mancias.

Battling groin, foot and hip injuries, Bosa appeared in just 29 of 52 regular-season and playoff games in the last three years with 14 sacks.

“When I first came into the league, I wasn’t known for defense, I can tell you that,” Jones, who is dealing with a right groin strain, said.
