NBA legend Charles Barkley warns LeBron James and Luka Doncic after the Los Angeles Lakers suffer a crushing Game 1 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. What does this mean for their playoff hopes?

LeBron James didn't play well in the Lakers' Game 1 loss to the Timberwolves, but there is a stat that suggests he may bounce back in strong fashion.

James was listed as probable with a left hip flexor strain on the injury report prior to Game 1 on Saturday. He played 36 minutes in the 117-95 loss, scoring 19 points with five rebounds and three assists. Only Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic logged more minutes than the 40-year-old James.
