The injury occurred in the fourth quarter when James collided with Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo -- who was called for an offensive foul -- which sent him to the ground writhing in pain. The four-time champion was on the ground for a while, and immediately came out of the game where he could be seen limping to the sideline.

LeBron James appeared to collide with Donte DiVincenzo in Game 5 versus the Timberwolves, and it has now been determined that he suffered an injury.

The Lakers struggled to stop Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert all night as he easily posted up and boxed out players including Doncic and Rui Hachimura en route to the Wolves' 10-point halftime lead in Los Angeles. LA stormed back with 31 points in the third quarter to 22 for the T'Wolves.
