LeBron James Makes Admission About Injury

The Los Angeles Lakers lost too many injuries following Anthony Davis’ injury. As if this wasn’t enough, LeBron James sustained an injury, too. The king of basketball missed career-high 26 games. The Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

LeBron treated his high-ankle sprain and it was a speedy recovery. However, he wasn’t 100%. Chris Haynes from Yahoo Sports talked to the Lakers superstar about the injury and revealed some interesting details.

“The four-time champ was 85% healthy for the series, but that percentage fluctuated game-to-game, sources said. The high-ankle sprain was the main reason he wasn’t able to routinely penetrate and attack the paint like he’s accustomed to doing.

“’I’m not worried about anything,’ James told Yahoo Sports. ‘I just need rest. I was told that from the beginning. I gave what I had.’”

LeBron James is getting enough rest to treat his injury

Fans are already asking questions about LeBron and his role in the Olympics. According to recent updates, he won’t play. We believe he will use the offseason to recover. The Lakers were set to finish their postseason right before the Olympics. Well, their offseason started a little earlier.

“Nah, I think I’m gonna play for the Tune Squad this summer instead of the Olympics,” James said, a quick promo for his movie Space Jam: A New Legacy.

LeBron missed too many games and he is ready for a long recovery. The kid from Akron is looking to get right for a run at the championship next season.

“It’s going to work wonders for me, obviously,” LeBron said getting some rest. “During the season I don’t even talk about rest, I don’t even like to put my mind and frame into that, it makes me weak. But in the offseason, I get an opportunity to rest. We’ve got like three months to recalibrate, get my ankle back to 100% where it was before that Atlanta game, and that’s the most important thing for me.”
