With Dwyane Wade officially out for the Miami Heat this evening against the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant and company may dodge a second bullet as ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported early Thursday morning that LeBron James was sent home from a team shoot around this morning with some type of illness. His playing status for this evening remains unknown.
Per Brain Windhorst on Twitter:
LeBron James sent home from shootaround with illness. Status for tonight vs. Lakers to be determined.

With the Lake Show rolling into South Beach losers of six of their last seven matchups there, a night without LeBron or Wade would be a sight for sore eyes. James' status for the game should become available soon.
