As the Lakers continue their quest for a playoff position, they seem to be hitting repeated roadblocks. One of their in form players this season, LeBron James has now been sidelined with a devastating injury. However, 29-year-old Anthony Davis’ return will provide hope for the fans, especially once James returns. On the contrary, the 18-time All-Star has now stated that he is ‘out for the season officially’.

Even at the age of 37, LeBron James never fails to mesmerize. Leading the charge once again, he has been the primary reason for the Lakers being in contention for a top-8 finish. But as analysts and fans had predicted before the 2021-22 campaign commenced, injuries have caught up to the roster. And now, LeBron’s latest announcement has caused a massive uproar on social media.

Fans bash LeBron James over potential April Fool’s Day post

There’s no doubt that if Lakers fans could count on one man to carry them into the playoffs, it’d be their very own King. Averaging over 30 points, he has seamlessly proven how his age is purely a formality. However, his latest ankle injury caused some worries, prompting a hilarious Twitter post. He said, “I’m out for the season officially. See y’all in the fall.” And although he was probably joking, it didn’t go down too well.

In reply to the sudden scare, fans have urged LeBron not to use April fool’s as a reason to increase their anxiety. While several fans pointed out that it’s April 1st, others hit back at the 4-time champion. One fan in particular, went on to use Michael Jordan to insult James. He claimed, “You will never surpass MJ.” Here are the best reactions from fans online.
