Rich Paul, James' agent, said during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he won't put a timetable on James' return, although an initial report indicated that the superstar is expected to miss at least a week or two of action (h/t Lakers Nation).

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without their superstar forward, LeBron James, for the next week or two. At least, that is the expectation for the 40-year-old. There is no secret that James has suffered through wear and tear throughout his 22-year career.

The injury came as James drove to the basket against Jaylen Brown. He attempted a spin move and followed that up with two head fakes, eventually converting the layup. James had a slight limp after the score, but attempted to play defense on the next possession.

The Los Angeles Lakers begin a stretch without the injured LeBron James when they visit the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. James strained his left groin in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 111-101 loss in Boston on Saturday.

LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has built quite a net worth over the years. James has been equally paid handsomely by NBA teams, but he's been a strategic business owner and community activist as well.
