Lakers Address LeBron James’ Sore Right Groin For Game 5 vs Blazers

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been dealing with a groin issue for quite some time and this injury may affect his status in Game 5 vs Portland Trail Blazers.

The injury is still here and analysts are concerned about its impact on LeBron’s performance. He has had a really good performance and looks really tough on the floor. But how far is the king of basketball willing to go to win a championship?

The four-time NBA NVP has been reported to deal with soreness in his right groin. King James had the same issue before Game 4. Players had a 3-day break and this gave them a good chance to rest and relax. Is LeBron ready for Game 5? Is his groin issue still bugging him?

The Lakers have added LeBron to the injury report on multiple occasions. He missed a few seeding games due to the same issue. The whole thing started at the beginning of August. This injury affected LeBron’s debut with the Lakers last season. He had to muss a lot of games and the Lakers were kicked out of the playoff run early in the season.

LeBron James may see less minutes in Game 5 vs Blazers

According to most recent sources, the Lakers have listed LeBron as probable due to the pain he is dealing with. Damian Lillard will be out for the series and we don’t really know if the Lakers like to use LeBron on the court tonight. He may see some action but his time will be a lot shorter than usual.

Rajon Rondo is dealing with back spasms and the team has listed him as questionable. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Anthony Davis have the same status as LeBron. KCP has a sore right knee and Davis is dealing with back spasms. Each of these players has a key role for the Lakers and the team needs them healthy and strong. Staying strong is of key importance for LA in the series. They have to protect their players and move on together.

LA is a favorite to win the title this season and players are working really hard to make this happen.
