Lakers Fans Can Finally Breathe Easy With LeBron James Injury

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James gave everyone a scare with his abdominal injury. The four-time NBA champion was set to miss a few weeks. The Lakers are getting ready to continue without LeBron and they have actually won two games in his absence. Now we have another update and fans will definitely sleep better tonight.

LeBron James may not miss much time due to his injury

Brian Windhorst from ESPN provided a big update on LeBron’s return. According to him, LeBron’s injury is not severe, meaning he can return to the basketball court sooner than expected.

“This is not a severe injury. He is rehabbing this and from what I am told the rehab is going well,” Windhorst said on “This Just In” episode. “He may have to do some reconditioning a little bit, but this is not going to keep him out for an extended period. LeBron definitely has shown his age here on some of these muscle injuries like he had with the groin injury two years ago. There’s no doubt about that.

“This is not something that is gonna dramatically impact his ability. It’s coming at a portion of the schedule for the Lakers where it’s not that difficult. They haven’t done great, I agree, but this is a time if you’re going to nurse an injury, it’s this time of the season, and that’s what LeBron’s doing.”

This is great news for fans and players too. The Lakers are without half of their roster. Antony Davis, Carmelo Anthony, Malik Monk, Russell Westbrook, and rest of the guys do their best to keep their team afloat.

Monk was brilliant in the game against the Miami Heat. He finished the night with 27 points. AD shot 24. Monk had the best game in his season with the Lakers.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel may not consider making changes to the starting lineup. His team looks fine at the moment and Vogel will probably keep things as they are. Staying healthy is a key factor right now, and injured players have to be 100% to contribute to the game.
