Beijing time on April 12 news, the Lakers held the last media meeting of the 2021-22 season, during which LeBron James talked about some updates about the contract extension and his ankle injury.
James said that after an MRI examination of his left ankle, he confirmed that he did not need surgery or injections to repair it, and that it would take four to six weeks to heal.
After the Lakers confirmed they missed the playoffs, James made the decision that he would not compete for the so-called scoring champion because it was not suitable for him, especially if he still had an ankle injury.
"I'm not going to play those two pointless games. But for our young people, they still have to fight, after all, I have been in the league for 19 seasons. It's a weird thing to go after the scoring champion when you're not in the playoffs. James said.
Although the season has just ended, James still talked about some plans for the next season and the future in front of many media.
He said that he has not discussed the renewal with the Lakers so far, "When we are at that point in time, we will discuss, and then we will see." ”
'For next season, it's actually natural to think about it now, we have to think about how we can build the most suitable squad, a squad that can bring more wins, and my personal goal is that I can play any role on the field. James said.
