LeBron James is dealing with a left-knee injury that will force the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar forward to miss Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Bleacher Report's Ethan J. Skolnick passed along further details about the news:
One of the overlooked aspects of James' greatness is his durability. His first season back with the Cavs after a successful stint with the Miami Heat marks his 12th year in the NBA. The most games he's ever missed in a single season is seven. Tuesday's absence, which also happens to coincide with this 30th birthday, is the second time he's been sidelined during the 2014-15 campaign.
That's even more impressive when you consider he's averaged around 40 minutes per game throughout his career. Not to mention he's often the anchor at both ends of the floor. That's a lot of mileage, but he's fought through the pain to play whenever possible.
James previously dealt with some soreness in his left knee. In past years, he's often stuck it out through various ankle issues, but nothing that kept him in street clothes for an extended period of time.
