WATCH: LeBron James goes down in pain after knee to the groin

A flying knee from Jason Smith leaves LeBron James writhing in pain on the Quicken Loans Arena hardwood

MANILA, Philippines – The announcer summed up the reaction to this scene perfectly and succinctly: “Oh boy.”

LeBron James was left momentarily breathless on the Quicken Loans Arena hardwood after taking a knee to the groin from Washington Wizards forward Jason Smith on Saturday, March 25 (Sunday, March 26 in Manila). The Cleveland Cavaliers star successfully drew Smith into thinking he was going to finish at the rim, before he dished out to the wing during the fourth quarter. He couldn’t trick Smith’s knee, which met James mid-air at a spot that doesn’t clash well with knees.

It was an ignominious end to a game which also featured LeBron starting the game wearing goggles to shield his eyes from the court lights, only to throw them across the court in frustration when he missed a few shots early.

LeBron finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists but John Wall, who dropped 37 points and 11 assists, led the Wizards to a 127-115 win. – Rappler.com
