On January 30, Beijing time, the Lakers officially announced the next injury report against the Eagles, James was absent due to left knee pain/effusion, missed three consecutive games due to injury, Nunn also continued to be absent due to injury; thick eyebrow (right wrist injury) was doubtful; Munch (left groin injury) and Wei Shao (right knee injury) were likely to play.
James, 37, has a worrying left knee injury, with medical expert Evan Jeffries tweeting: LeBron's three consecutive misses are a bit of a concern, with sore knees turning into swollen knees, which is usually not a good sign.
In the Lakers and Nets game, James had stood on the sidelines for left knee treatment, and the next day, James felt a sore knee, before the game with Philadelphia, James only had a few minutes of shooting training before returning to the locker room early, did not participate in the team's warm-up training, and then the Lakers announced that James was absent from the game due to left knee pain.
Before the game against the Hornets, the Lakers listed James' injury as a sore/effusion in his left knee, in other words, James's knee was swollen.
Another medical expert, Rajpal Brar, tweeted that James continues to miss the game tomorrow, the Lakers can rest until Thursday, he can receive three additional treatments, and it is reasonable to come back at that time.
The Lakers will play against the Hawks at 2 a.m. tomorrow, which is the last game in the Lakers' five-game away game in the East, after which the Lakers will rest for three consecutive days; starting from January 26, James will be able to get eight days of rest by missing three consecutive games, and before injury time, James has played 25 consecutive games; so far in the season, James has played 36 games, accumulating 15 games.
