LeBron James Gives Update on Thumb Injury Sustained vs. Houston Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James sustained a thumb injury in the series against the Houston Rockets. LeBron feels fine, and this minor injury won’t affect his game.

We don’t know when his injury took place. LeBron said it happened in the semifinals against Houston. This explanation happened as LeBron was caught icing his thumb after Thursday’s practice. This treatment wasn’t really a treatment. It was just a method to keep LeBron ready for the Western Conference Finals on Friday night.

LeBron has spent 17 seasons in the NBA, and his durability has impressed a lot of players. In his debut season with the Lakers, LeBron was limited to career-low 55 games.

In 2018, LeBron had his final season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played the final three games of the NBA Finals with a hand fracture. King James fractured his hand after he hit the blackboard following an overtime loss to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

In that game, the Warriors missed the chance to win the game in regulation when J.R. Smith thought the Cavs led the game. This mistake pushed the Cavaliers from the big game.

LeBron James is not worried about his thumb injury

LeBron hopes to have a better game in his series against Denver. The Nuggets had an incredible comeback against the Clippers. They overcame a 3-1 deficit and eliminated the Clippers from the playoff run.

Game 1 will take place on Friday, and LA fans hope to see a big win.

“Very resilient, very confident, very driven and very well-coached team,” LeBron said. “It takes a lot of energy, effort and a lot of desperation to be able to come back from a 3-1 deficit, and they did it twice.”

LeBron and his teammates have to stay healthy. They had great success in 2020, and Davis leads the team in points. It will be a wild ride for this Lakers team and analysts have made a great prediction. Let’s see how will things turn out for the king and his talented teammates.
