LeBron James, who sat out Sunday's game with foot soreness, is unlikely to play in the Lakers' game vs. the Timberwolves on Friday, sources told ESPN.

James missed LA's most recent game, a win over the Trail Blazers, due to foot soreness. He last played on Friday the 6th, so sitting in Minnesota would give him eight days off before a potential return on Sunday against the Grizzlies. If he misses that game as well, he would have nearly two weeks between appearances.
