Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James to miss at least another week with strained
groin
LBJ因為肌肉拉傷，至少還要缺席一個星期
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James will miss at least another week as
he continues to receive treatment on his strained left groin.
湖人球星因為拉傷左腹股溝肌肉，至少還要缺席一周，並持續接受治療中。
He will be re-evaluated in one week, the team said in a news release, meaning
James will miss Friday’s home game against the New York Knicks, road games
at Minnesota on Sunday and at Dallas on Monday (he will not travel with the
team on that road trip) and a home game against Detroit on Wednesday.
在新聞稿中，他將會在一個星期後再次接受評估，這代表這星期五的主場對戰紐約尼克，
以及星期日對灰狼及星期一對獨行俠的客場戰(他客場戰不會隨隊)，以及下星期三主場面
對活塞都不會出戰。
Playing at Utah on Jan. 11 or at home against Cleveland on Jan. 13 would be
the next games for James’ potential return to the lineup for the 21-17
Lakers, who are 1-3 since James sustained the injury against Golden State on
Christmas.
LBJ比較有可能出賽的時間會是1/11在猶他爵士或者1/13在主場面對騎士，目前湖人戰績是
21-17，在12/25面對勇士LBJ受傷後，湖人戰績是1-3。
James, 34, has been remarkably healthy throughout his career. It’s an
attribute almost as impressive as his strength, quickness, scoring, passing
and basketball IQ. In 15-plus seasons, he has played in 94% of possible games
and has never missed a playoff game. Last season, he played in all 82 games
for the first time in his career.
34歲的LBJ，職業生涯是令人讚嘆的健康，跟他的強壯，敏捷，得分能力，傳球以及球商齊
名。在15個多球季，他打了94%可上場比賽，沒缺席過季後賽。上一季，這是他生涯第一次
打了整季82場比賽。
He has been bothered by minor injuries from time to time and a bad back
sidelined him for two weeks in 2014-15. Since then, James has not missed
consecutive games with an injury until now.
他偶而會被一些小傷痛困擾，在2014-15年因為背傷休息了兩個星期。而從那之後，他就沒
有因為受傷而未連續出戰過。
James’ injury is costing the Lakers in the standings. With him, the Lakers
were 20-14 and in fourth place in the Western Conference, 2½ games out of
first place.
LBJ的傷勢也反映在湖人戰績排名上。有他在，湖人是在西區排名第四，20-14，落後第一
名兩場半勝差。
Headed into Friday’s game, they are in eighth place and five games behind
first-place Denver in the ultra-competitive and deep West. The Sacramento
Kings are two games behind the Lakers, and the Memphis Grizzlies and
Mavericks are 2½ games behind Los Angeles, which is also just a game behind
the fifth-place Portland Trail Blazers.
而到了星期五，他們在西區排名第八，落後第一名金塊的勝差到了五場。國王差湖人兩場
勝差，灰熊是兩場半，湖人跟第五的拓荒者是一場勝差。
The Lakers said James was day-to-day when they announced the results of the
MRI on Dec. 26. There was some expectation that he would miss a few games. At
the same time, James does not want to rush back and turn the groin injury
into a lingering problem.
LBJ受傷後，湖人球團在12/26公布核磁共振結果，也說LBJ會進入每天觀察名單。那時候就
有預期他可能會有幾場不會出賽，LBJ也不希望趕著回來，而讓腹股溝的傷勢變成一個長期
的問題。
“We got to get him healthy," Lakers coach Luke Walton told reporters on
Friday. "We talk all year. We need everyone on our team. You don’t want
anyone to get hurt. That’s how the NBA season plays out. We’re down in
bodies. It’s going to be a challenge, but our guys should be excited for
that."
「我們要讓他健康回來，」湖人總教練Luke Walton星期五跟記者說。「我們談的是一整年
的比賽，需要每個人都在隊上，不希望有人受傷，這就是要怎麼打一整年NBA球季的方式。
我們現在有人沒辦法打，這會是個挑戰，但是我們隊上的球員應該要為此感到興奮的。」
