LeBron James exited early before the game ended
The Lakers recently faced the Sacramento Kings where the Lakers star LeBron James exited the game in the final minutes before it ended. LeBron was seen limping off from the court to the locker room. This spectacle gave rise to injury gossip among the fans. However, it was later confirmed that Bron had an ankle issue which made him quit the match early.
The leading scorer of the NBA discussed the matter in a post-game interview after the match. “I will be all right. It is just my ankle. It is what I have been dealing with before the break (All-Star break) and after the break. I am just managing it in the best way I can,” said Bron. The Lakers star assured his fans that the issue is no major thing to get worried over. He revealed that it had been troubling him before the All-Star break happened and he is doing his best to manage it.
The injury scare has been labeled as ‘wear and tear’ per recent reports but King James is expected to mark his return to the court soon. However, given the ankle problem has persisted since the All-Star Game, the Lakers will not rush him into action unless the 39-year-old is fully fit.
