James out for at least 4 more games

LeBron James will miss at least four more games for the Lakers while he recovers from a left groin strain.

The team said Friday that James’ injury will be re-evaluated in one week.

The four-time NBA MVP already has missed four games after getting hurt during the Lakers’ victory at Golden State on Christmas. His recovery schedule will keep him out of the Lakers’ upcoming two-game road trip and a home game against the Pistons next week.

The Lakers were 1-3 without James in the lineup entering Friday’s game against the Knicks. James is averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 29 points and 15 rebounds, and Jeff Teague added 23 points and 10 assists in the Timberwolves’ 120-103 comeback victory over the Magic. The Timberwolves recovered from a 19-point deficit midway through the second quarter with a 44-12 run . ... Donovan Mitchell scored 18 points as the Jazz dominated the second half, sending the Cavaliers to their eighth straight loss.
