NBA superstar LeBron James started the season off great despite turning 38 recently and is averaging close to 30 points per game. However, similar to last season, James has been struggling with multiple injuries. The four-time NBA champion suffered a foot tendon injury around three weeks ago. The injury has kept him sidelined for ten straight games for the Los Angeles Lakers who are fighting for a play-in spot. Their chances of making it rely a lot on the health and return of their main man, LeBron.

Recently, James was shockingly accused of taking performance-enhancing drugs. Amidst this, there are reports that suggest he has made a trip to Germany to get treatment. Interestingly, one of his teammates spilled the beans about the four-time NBA MVP’s trip.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling without their superstar LeBron James. The Purple & Gold have won 5 and lost 5 during his absence in the last few weeks. Even though it is not entirely bad, considering the importance of the final stretch of games, every game is crucial. So the anticipation about the return of the King is high among the fans. During the Lakers’ shoot-around on Friday, point guard Dennis Schröder spoke with the reporters and had an update on James. The German was not ready to say too much, however; it looked like he admitted LeBron was getting treatment from doctors in Germany.

Schröder said, “I know. I can’t say too much. But German doctors are great.” If it is true, this is not the first instance when a Lakers superstar has visited Germany for treatment. NBA legend Kobe Bryant made trips to the country to help with some of his niggling injuries in 2011 and 2013 as well.
