LeBron James misses 2nd straight game with injuries when Lakers host Knicks

LeBron James is missing his second consecutive game to rest injuries to his left elbow and left foot when the Los Angeles Lakers host the New York Knicks on Sunday. The Lakers announced James' absence about 75 minutes before they tipped off against the Knicks. James had been going through a pregame routine to test his ability to play, but the Lakers didn't wait until game time to make a decision, as coach JJ Redick had predicted moments earlier.
