LeBron James left the game with an injury as the Los Angeles Lakers’ eight-game win streak came to an end following a loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday.

By now, it is safe to say that there is a very real chance the league's oldest and fiercest rivalry could spring back to life if the two old enemies on the hardwood find themselves back on the league's biggest stage competing for the claim to most titles won in Association history.

Though Luka Dončić’s fourth-quarter explosion showed he is capable of keeping the Lakers in big games, LeBron James’ fourth-quarter groin injury will loom large after this loss, which snapped Los Angeles’ eight-game win streak. With 6:44 left in the game, James called for a timeout and eventually headed to the locker room with a left groin strain.
