76ers' LeBron James (back management) out vs. visiting Bucks
Philadelphia 76ers forward LeBron James warms up before the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks because of lower back management.
The 41-year-old has been managing sciatica since the start of the 2025-26 season and will have the night off, according to the NBA's official injury report.
James is averaging 33.5 minutes, 15.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists through two games with his new team. The 2-0 76ers defeated the defending champion New York Knicks 106-100 on Tuesday before erasing a 29-point deficit against the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 114-106 victory Thursday.
Dominick Barlow (back), Tacko Fall (quad), and Ariel Hukporti (Achilles) are also out Saturday in Philadelphia's second game of an early-season three-game homestand.
