LeBron James' injury: Takes 2-3 weeks, has a scenario of sitting out the whole season

Whether LeBron James will return to play this season or not will depend on two factors. One is the recovery process, the other is the achievement of the Los Angeles Lakers.

During this time, what the Los Angeles Lakers fans are most concerned about is the injury situation of LeBron James. The compression of the "king"'s competition on Monday had serious consequences.

Although the Lakers had the most impressive comeback win in 20 years, the price to pay was the service of LeBron James over the long term.

According to information from two reputable journalists including Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania, LeBron James will have to miss at least 2 weeks, most likely for 2-3 weeks because of an ankle injury.

In two weeks, James will be re-examined to evaluate his recovery, and the Los Angeles Lakers will consider whether to let LeBron return to play or not. At this point there will be two cases:

- If the Lakers' performance is good enough and still in the race for the Playoffs position, James will be re-exported for the 2 or 3 week final sprint of the Regular Season. This both helps increase the possibility of winning for the Lakers, and gives LeBron "running momentum" ahead of the postseason.

- If the Lakers plummeted without braking during the time James was out and unfortunately lost the opportunity to enter the play-in group, the team leadership would consider giving LeBron James the rest of the season off.
