The Los Angeles Lakers fell short in a dramatic comeback attempt against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night, but the primary focus shifted to 40-year-old

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 Lakers, the league's best defense since Jan. 15, will have to rely more on that end of the floor to generate transition offense.
