LeBron James, who flew back to Los Angeles from Atlanta on Jan. 31, had an MRI with no structural damage, just a common effusion and swelling, and he would be treated for his knee. According to the analysis of medical expert Evan Jeffries, James may come back in a game against the Blazers, because the acute inflammatory effusion will disappear after 7 days of treatment, and it will be exactly 7 days since playing the Nets to the VS Blazers.
On February 1, Beijing time, LeBron, who had a swollen knee, still carried out regular training, he posted a small video of his gym training on his personal IG, and after training, he also ate a large piece of pizza, feeling that LeBron's mood was quite good, and the injury did not affect him. LeBron is one of the most disciplined stars in NBA history, and his ability to maintain such a competitive state at the age of 37 has a lot to do with his self-discipline.
Lakers reporter Raymond Shelburn said on espnon's show that the Lakers described to me that James was just physically consumed and worn, knee swelling was just a normal condition, other test results were normal, they just needed to let James's knee swell, he may play in Wednesday's game. However, he is unlikely to play until his knees have swollen, this is the 19th season of his career, and the team will not let him make a hasty comeback.
In addition, Shelburn also said that a Lakers insider said: "Every day James is absent, we are silent downwards, and his burden is too heavy for a 37-year-old athlete."
LeBron was the key guy and the team sank when he wasn't there, and you think back to the fourth quarter against the Hawks without LeBron, who couldn't even go back to defending on the road. The Lakers, who are not LeBron, have won 5 and lost 10 this season, and he has only played 16 games with Westbrook and Davis.
This brings up the topic of why James is injured, American fans generally think that Vogel's platoon, Vogel has been obsessed with five small lineups this season, LeBron James has even played 7 games this season as a starting center, and in the second lineup, James has been a center almost all the time, as a 37-year-old veteran manager let him play center, saying that this season is to reduce the pressure for James, Is Vogel decompressing?
It is no wonder that Vogel's sacking will be on the hot search, after Kidd left this Lakers, their defense plummeted, Vogel was brainless obsessed with the small lineup to play the offensive system, James played center and was injured, so the Lakers playoffs are dangerous.
