Los Angeles Lakers officially spoke about LeBron James' injury
The "king" suffered this injury in the third half of the match where the Lakers went back in history against the Dallas Mavericks.At first, many people thought that LeBron stepped on the opponent's foot, causing pain, but in fact James did not collide. with Dwight Powell.
"I heard a 'pop'" was LeBron's initial reaction when he was lying on the field, which worried many Los Angeles Lakers fans. After the game, James was seen leaving the field with limp steps before having to put on ankle boots the next day.
On average per game, James is scoring 29.5 points with 8.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists (50.1% FG - 30.8% 3PT). He performed at All-NBA level as the main offensive leader for the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, the price to pay is that LeBron has been overloaded in both ankles for the past several weeks. Right before the All-Star holiday, he once shared about being uncomfortable with a painful ankle even though X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no damage.
The fact that LeBron James had to miss the game because of injury shows the unbelievable bad luck of the Los Angeles Lakers. Having been under great pressure with high fan expectations, this team has rarely had a full squad from the beginning of the season until now.
However, when Anthony Davis has just recovered from injury after missing 20 games in December and January, now it is LeBron's turn to sit out and AD will have to try to fill the hole left by the "king".
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently ranked 11th in the Western rankings, improving their position thanks to 5 wins in the last 7 matches. Each appearance of the yellow and purple shirt team during this time is considered a final.
Ahead of them will be a game or two against direct competitors including the Minnesota Timberwolves (Saturday morning) and the Golden State Warriors (Monday morning). Then there were two competitions against Eastern rivals including the Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks.
