LeBron James appears to be searching for answers as he steps away from the Lakers amid a worrying decline and swirling trade rumors.
“LeBron is not with the team right now,” Redick told reporters while at practice on Wednesday. “He’s out for personal reasons, excused absence.”
James missed his first game of the season on Sunday against the Blazers — a 107-98 victory — after previously setting a goal to play all 82 in his age-40 season.
Redick added that James would “take some time” after struggling mightily in his last few games, including an 0-for-20 stretch from beyond the 3-point line.

He’s still upset over Kamelala getting her Jamaican butt kicked.
You didn’t see Bird or Magic or MJ do this. One more reason why he’s not the GOAT.
Trump defeats another.
I did see Bird one time. He was getting a VIP tour of the Vertical Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center. I said ‘Hey Larry!’. He waved.
Your 40 dude......time to hang it up......it sucks but nobody plays forever.
Not a GOAT.
They didn’t change the rules to favor Wilt Chamberlain, who was a far greater player than LeWhine. In fact, they changed them to make it less effective at scoring, defending or rebounding.
Under new rules, no zone defense, you can take 3 or 4 steps on the way to the basket, you can pick up the dribble, palm the ball, and charging is not called on Lewhine.
Basketball is more akin to tennis now, back and forth and back and forth. It is so exciting, that it bores me.
Professional athletes don’t quit work because their doing poorly. Every single one has had ups-downs in their performance. Also can’t get rid of the yips by sunbathing.
I do not believe, at all, a mid-season hiatus has anything to do with a few bad games.
Diddy or diddyn’t he.
To your point...

Interesting that LeBron takes a leave right in the middle of the Diddy and Jay Z situation. Many celebrities have left the country recently. The timing is sure worth noting. Will be following this one closely.

There is a school of speculation that a whole lot of people are going to get all blowed up. LeBron’s name has come up in the discussion.
Monkeypox..
Steps away? Lebron usually takes most of his steps when on the court holding a basketball.
I hear he is going to China to cry.
I despise the Lakers, so I don’t care. maybe he and Dax are crying things out
I don’t consider LeBron the G.O.A.T. either.
Those you mentioned their own issues and none lasted until 40
Byrd retired at 35 because of injuries.
Magic was 36 - he took off 4 seasons because of HIV
Jordon was 39 - he retired twice for a total of 4 years.
