The Los Angeles Lakers insist they will not rush LeBron James back from a groin injury after losing their first outing without him on Thursday. James was hurt during the Lakers' Christmas Day victory over the Golden State Warriors and no timetable has been set for his return to action. Without the four-time MVP, who saw his consecutive games streak end at 156, the team slipped to a 117-116 defeat away to the Sacramento Kings, despite leading by as many as 15 points during the fourth quarter.
