Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is facing a potential setback as he is currently questionable for the upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a left calf contusion. The injury occurred during the Lakers’ in-season tournament victory over the Phoenix Suns, where James took an unintentional blow from Kevin Durant’s knee on his left shin.
Despite the injury, James managed to continue playing in the game, but he was seen walking with a slight limp afterward. He informed reporters that his shin was sore and that it had never loosened up after the incident. James tried to maintain his composure and play effectively despite the pain.
The Lakers have not had the best start to the season, with a 4-5 record. LeBron James has been a crucial player for the team, averaging a team-high 25.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in his 21st NBA season.
The team’s performance and James’ injury status will be closely monitored as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Fans and basketball enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see if James will be able to play and contribute to the Lakers’ success in the match.
