LeBron James is out for Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs because of “significant” knee soreness, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said.

The 37-year-old James sat out for five games earlier this season because of pain in the same left knee. However, he has not missed a game since February 3 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
