LeBron James has missed the last six games for the Los Angeles Lakers, which has prompted fans to enquire about whether he is injured as of now.
LeBron James has missed the last six games for the Los Angeles Lakers, which has prompted the franchise’s faithful to enquire whether their talisman is currently injured. Only a month on from breaking the all-time scoring record in the NBA, James has only played a handful of games in the NBA – and even failed to rack up any significant time in the All-Star game.
Just a day after a report that LeBron James is “doing everything he can” to get back on the court from his current bout with a foot tendon injury as soon as possible for the Lakers, head coach Darvin Ham provided an update on his star on Sunday that — while admittedly nonspecific — at the very least wasn’t negative.
Speaking ahead of James’ seventh consecutive missed game, Ham told reporters that the superstar is going to be back on the bench with the team after a brief break. James is in the second week of a rest period that the team initially said would last three weeks before he is reevaluated on approximately March 23, so this update could turn out to be insignificant.
When is LeBron James set to return to action?
When is the NBA legend set to return to action for the Lakers?
Progress or not, the Lakers still have a ways to go before they can hope for even the earliest possible return from James, with five more games after Sunday before that reevaluation date. And as we have often seen from experience, the date a player is reevaluated is rarely the day they return, as there is usually a ramp-up process before they can get back on the court.
The Lakers as well as their faithful will just have to be patient and hope for more wins to help the team continue to climb up the Western Conference standings between now and James’ return.
