On April 1, Beijing time, ESPN reporter Wo Shen reported that LeBron James will undergo an injury assessment of an ankle sprain and is expected to try to make a comeback against the Pelicans. In addition, Anthony Davis has confirmed a comeback against the Pelicans, who has since missed in February due to a sprained foot injury and has completed a 5V5 confrontational training the day before yesterday.
Vashin also reported that James has been in Los Angeles for rehabilitation since Sunday's left ankle sprain absence, James and Davis will not play the Jazz, the Lakers are currently 0.5 wins ahead of the Spurs, US time on Friday will be VS Pelicans, pelicans currently lead the Lakers 1.5 wins.
James's left ankle sprain after a significant swelling, he has not participated in the Lakers training, according to the analysis of medical expert Evan Jeffries, LeBron James is most likely a second-degree sprain, this injury generally takes 3-4 weeks of rest, if it is a first-degree sprain, it will be absent for 7-10 days, but LeBron only has 5 days off to insist on coming back, even if it is a first-level sprain recovery time is not enough.
James averaged 34.3 points per game throughout March, a new single-month scoring record for his career, second only to the 2007 Lakers' Skoby single-month scoring, which also increased James' average of 30.13 points per game.
James averaged 30.13 points per game in the league, Alphabet Brother averaged 29.88 points per game, Embiid averaged 29.88 points per game, but James only played 55 games he still needs to play three games to lock in the scoring king, Embiid and Alphabet Brother have played 62 games, James wants to win the scoring king at the age of 37, he must come back to play at least three games, which may also be one of the reasons why James insisted on coming back.
Of course, the deeper reason is the Lakers' record problem, the Spurs missed the kill Grizzlies fell to the eleventh place in the West again, the Lakers only have 0.5 wins worse than the Spurs, and the Spurs also have two games against the Blazers, their schedule is better than the Lakers, the Lakers only have one game to play the Thunder, if the Lakers want to stabilize the play-off seat, James, Davis both are indispensable.
The 37-year-old LeBron did not give up this season, although O'Neill, Perkins and other famous mouths advised the Lakers and James to give up this season, but the old King did not believe it.
