On February 3, Beijing time, James conducted an MRI examination, and the results showed that it was just ordinary swelling and no structural damage; how was James's knee injury caused? Medical expert Evan Jeffries dug deep into the true cause of James's injury, which had a cyst behind his knee.
Evan Jeffries posted a picture of James with a cyst behind his knee — a cyst moving behind James's knee during the Lakers and Nets game; Jeffries tweeted that LeBron's injury was renewed, his knee was still swollen, and he was looking for other treatment options, and I thought of two injuries, which could be a popliteal cyst or a bursitis.
After treatment, bursitis can be cured in a few days to a week or two, but popliteal cysts can take weeks to heal.
In the previous Lakers and Nets game, James had treated his knees on the sidelines, played with injuries for 35 minutes to get 33 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and led the team to avenge the Nets, after which James missed 3 consecutive games due to knee soreness/effusion, and the possibility of coming back today is very small.
Espnon reporter Dave McMenamin previously reported that James would not come back until his knee had swollen, and they would explore all treatment options, but would not do PRP (platelet-rich plasma therapy).
Lakers coach Vogel said: James is a special player, we believe he can solve the problem with his own medical team.
So far this season, James has played 36 games for the Lakers, averaging 29.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.1 blocks, and still plays superstar-level performance at the age of 37; at present, James is plagued by a knee injury, the injury is not serious, but it will take a while to treat the swelling.
I hope that the 37-year-old Zhan will get rid of the injury as soon as possible, and the Lakers need him too much!
