The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be having a tough time this season. The star player of the Lakers’ LeBron James, who keeps the team together, seems to be facing some health challenges this season. His efforts are not less than those of an MVP player, but for the Lakers this season, it is difficult to predict what will happen.

They are currently in ninth place in the Western Conference. Chiefly, the game against the Golden State Warriors did not go well for them, as their record stands at 26-31. Even with all these challenges at hand, Lakers fans hope that their team can survive as they have James by their side. There is no doubt that the fanbase trusts the four-time champion more than anyone else. There is a reason why he is called the king of the NBA. 

At this point in time, we learned that James was facing an injury that could compromise his performance. Lakers fans are certainly concerned about what will happen next. In addition, if it turns out to be serious, the lakers will have a tough task in advance of this season’s championship. In an interview with the media, James shared his injury update, mentioning something that will definitely stir questions about his health.

In a media interview, LeBron James talked about his knee injury

Before facing the Utah Jazz, the team spoke to the media after practice. He talked about how time to rest and recuperate was a luxury he simply couldn’t afford. Look at the record of the Lakers,  it seems like James’ self-awareness about the standing of the team is extremely prudent.

“It’s the same as my ankle. When I had the high ankle sprain last year. I think it was last year. The only way it’ll be back to full strength is rest, and I don’t have the luxury of having rest.” [h/t lakersdaily.com]

James’ previous injury was a high ankle sprain, which he suffered last year in March. He was playing against the Atlanta Hawks at the time. Losing in the first round of the playoffs last season resulted in huge consequences for the Lakers.

The Lakers have only managed to go 6-11 this season without James. His impending absence is sure to be a red flag for the entire roster and management as a whole. It would be difficult for the Lakers if James did not play for them. Let us know what you think about the Lakers’ situation.
