The Los Angeles Lakers' very bad season may have just gotten worse. LeBron James was seen limping off the court during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Minutes later, the Lakers announced James would not return due to left leg soreness. Lakers head coach Darvin Ham didn't provide much clarity after the game, telling reporters James was dealing with leg discomfort and would be further evaluated by medical staff. But LeBron himself said he felt something in his groin and will get medical imagining on Thursday. Even some minor wear-and-tear isn't exactly what the Lakers want to see with James this early in the season, though, not when it increasingly looks like it will take another unbelievable effort from him to bring them back into the realm of respectability. James has also been dealing with left foot soreness, missing Monday's loss to the Utah Jazz. The Lakers ultimately fell to the Clippers 114-101 in a game that got away from them in the third quarter, where they were outscored 33-23 after trailing by two points at halftime. James finished with 30 points on 12-of-22 shooting (4-of-9 from deep) plus eight rebounds, five assists and two steals. That wasn't enough against a Clippers team that is nothing if not deep, as seven of their players scored in double figures. Leading them was Paul George, who had 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
