James, who turned 29 on Monday, injured his groin Friday during the Heats overtime loss at Sacramento.

The omens arent good for Hull CityMike Phelans Hull (3-1-8) have flattered to deceive for much of the opening part of the campaign, but had a chance to show that they were more than just relegation fodder against then-bottom side Sunderland last week.A 3-0 defeat later and Hull look every inch a club destined for an immediate return to the Championship. Theyll hope to turn things around against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday at KCOM Stadium.The Tigers have serious problems defensively, conceding 27 goals, more than another other side in the Premier League. But, incredibly, it could be even worse for Phelan and his team, had they not started the campaign so brightly -- Hull picked up more points in their opening two games of the season (six) than they have in their 10 since (four).Its about time the Tigers stopped the rot, but those early season victories mean they are at least in touch with the pack in the bottom half of the table. Captain Michael Dawson is keen to keep looking at the positives -- despite his teams perilous position.Were one point behind the teams above us at the moment, and its a case of looking to the next game and making sure were better than the last one, said Dawson.We had opportunities against Sunderland and we know we have to be more clinical in the final third, but we also have to start keeping clean sheets.The garden is looking far greener for West Brom (4-4-4), who find themselves in the top half of the table going into this contest.Tony Pulis sside turned on the style in their most recent game, dismantling Burnley in a 4-0 victory on Monday evening.ddddddddddddThat result means the Baggies are looking for three league wins on the bounce for the first time since Pulis took over as manager.Its been an impressive recent run for Pulis and his team, but the manager -- who not so long ago was derided by the supporters for his lack of results and tedious playing style -- believes he has not yet cracked itWe need time to get things right, said Pulis. This is nowhere near what I want. This is part of it, but Im not stood here thinking Ive cracked it. We keep building and progressing.The great thing about it is that by winning games you get more time. Obviously its enjoyable after taking some stick, but youve got to have a strong character both ways.Hull are missing Abel Hernandez, Will Keane, Andy Robertson, Alex Bruce and Moses Odubajo, while Shaun Maloney is a doubt.West Brom are expected to welcome back Nacer Chadli from a knee injury, adding further quality to the forward line that so impressed against Burnley.So all the signs seem to point to a West Brom win… except for one.Hull are yet to lose a home game against West Brom in the Premier League, winning one and drawing two of the three total meetings. The Baggies have failed to score in the last two of those league visits to Humberside. ' ' '
