LeBron James Comments On Lakers Missing Playoffs

Lakers star LeBron James will miss the playoffs, and he made comments on his summer.

King James is looking forward to his summer off as the Lakers will miss the big games this season. LA is 31-40 following the defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks. Many believed that LeBron would bring the Lakers to the playoffs, but it didn’t happen.

Too many players were injured, and LeBron missed 17 games due to his groin injury. Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram will miss the rest of the season. But, LeBron is actually grateful for his time off. He will sure need that rest before his 17th season.

“Absolutely I’ve thought about how my summer is going to be,” LeBron said. “It’s unfortunate that we’re so far out of the postseason right now and looking like we won’t be a part of it.

“Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is just taking care of my body.

“I’ve played a lot of basketball, played a lot of minutes over my 16-year career.

“So getting an opportunity to have a couple more months to take care of my body and refresh my mind and my body, is going to be very key going into my 17th year. So I’m looking forward to that.”

LeBron spoke about his minutes restriction in one of his interviews. It was like a burden for him, and the groin injury was the last thing he needed at the moment.

“It’s challenging for me mentally because I’m so accustomed to being out on the floor, especially when I’m healthy,” he said. “You know, but it’s a conversation between myself and my trainer and the coaching staff and the front office, and this is the direction that they wanted to go the remainder of the season given the lack of success we’ve had with our ballclub. So I trust the people in charge, and that’s what it is.”
