NBA Expert Provides Worrying Update About Lakers Star

LeBron James got people worried after he suffered a groin injury during the Lakers’ match against the Golden State Warriors. This strain could get the team in trouble, as King James may be ruled out for up to six weeks.

This was confirmed by NBA expert Chris Broussard. The Los Angeles Lakers lost three of the four games LeBron missed. Christmas Day was not too merry for the king as he slipped on the court and had to leave the game in the third quarter. Broussard said LeBron may be out for a month if his injury turns out to be worse than we first thought.

“They said he was shooting yesterday. If it is a grade one strain then that is one to two weeks – it has only been a week. If it is a grade two strain it is three to six weeks. Remember Steph Curry missed 11 games earlier this season in three weeks with a strained groin.”

Broussard also said that LeBron’s absence came at the perfect time for the team.

“This seems to be par for the course and it actually could be a good time, maybe the best time in the year for it to happen. When you look at their schedule, seven of their next eight games are against teams under .500. It is a good time to see what really is around LeBron James. Obviously Golden State is the heavy favorite but if they falter, I think the Lakers are in that group with Houston and OKC that have a shot. This season was really about seeing what you have outside LeBron. If they can play well in this stretch and win games then it could build their confidence in themselves, the sporting cast.”

We do hope that head coach Luke Walton has a solution for such situation.
