Monday Injury Update For Lakers Star LeBron James
The Los Angeles Lakers will need to work on their backup plan. The team has released the final injury update on LeBron James. He is back into game action, but things don’t look really well for the team. Lakers players lost too many games in LeBron’s absence. Anthony Davis was out for a really long time. LA struggled without both superstars. Davis is back, LeBron is back, and LA keeps losing games. How will head coach Frank Vogel handle this?
LeBron’s return to the starting lineup didn’t lead to a win. LA is 0-2 since he returned from a lengthy absence because of his high-ankle sprain. According to some experts, LeBron may not even be 100 percent.
NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported that LeBron will probably sit out the game against the Denver Nuggets. He had to leave the last game due to ankle soreness. The same soreness kept him on the sidelines for a really long time. Woj tweeted that LeBron will be out due to sore ankle.
“Lakers star LeBron James is expected to sit out vs. Denver tonight to rest his right ankle, sources tell ESPN,” Wojnarowski tweeted on Monday afternoon. “James re-aggravated the ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to Toronto. Lakers have lost 6 of 7 games.”
Concerning injury update on LeBron James
Los Angeles is in serious jeopardy of being forced to compete in the play-in tournament. LeBron’s health is a big concern at the moment. A lot of fans have questions about his availability moving forward. Without LeBron at 100 percent, Lakers players will struggle to earn a spot in the Western Conference.
The Lakers lost six of the last seven games. They fell to 36-28 on the regular season and slipped to seventh place in the Western Conference standings. It’s a long journey for the storied franchise.
LA plays against the Nuggets. They will meet their city rivals on Thursday. LeBron’s team is playing against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday and the Phoenix Suns are next on the list. The New York Knicks will challenge LA next Tuesday.
