LeBron James will miss a game against the Kings due to a groin injury. The four-time NBA champion could miss more games, but that will not affect the role of Russell Westbrook.
According to the Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, the point guard will continue coming off the bench even if James misses games, per Kyle Goon.
Westbrook has come off the bench 7 out of 10 games this season. He is averaging 16.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 29 minutes per game.
