LeBron James was ruled out of the Philadelphia 76ers' Saturday game against the Milwaukee Bucks for lower-back and sciatica management. The 76ers are managing the 41-year-old's workload during a back-to-back. James is averaging 15.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and six assists through Philadelphia's 2-0 start and had a double-double in Thursday's comeback win over Cleveland. Joel Embiid expects to play only one game this weekend, leaving Saturday or Sunday uncertain. With James sidelined, Tyrese Maxey and other players could take on larger roles. Milwaukee entered the matchup 0-2. The game is at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday, October 24 at 7:30 PM ET. Coverage across rated outlets reported the same core availability details
