SAN ANTONIO — LeBron James will miss the game against the San Antonio Spurs with right sciatica and left foot arthritis, the Lakers announced Wednesday. James has starred for the Lakers (23-11) during their three-game winning streak, averaging 29 points in victories against the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans. “His foot typically the day after a game is sore, so that’s the primary thing,” coach JJ Redick said before the game. The Lakers are beginning a busy January that ends with their longest trip of the year: the eight-game Grammy trip. Guard Gabe Vincent (back) will be available for Wednesday’s game while on a restriction of about 18 minutes, Redick said.
