LeBron James’s fresh injury will be made public before the Lakers play the Hornets

Basketball — 12/28/2023

Despite Father Time slowly kicking in for LBJ, it appears that he still has some gas left in the tank and could play for a few more seasons

LeBron James is considered questionable going into his next game due to a fresh ailment, which suggests that Father Time may be slowly taking its to𝔩𝔩 on him. James is among the five players for the Purple and Gold who could miss Thursday’s LA Lakers game against the Charlotte Hornets. Anthony Davis, Cam Reddish, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Gabe Vincent are these other players.

James has a left knee contusion, according to a recent report. He had missed much of the season due to a calf contusion that he had previously sustained. Though he is labeled as questionable for Thursday night’s game, it’s possible that he will play despite the ιnjury considering his past experiences.

If LeBron James stays healthy or plays through his injuries, he might break yet another record.

The oldest NBA player is LeBron James. This is his 21st season as a player, and he will turn 39 on Saturday. Thus, it is reasonable to believe that James has played the most games in his career. At 1,611 career games, Robert Parish still holds the record.

In the last three seasons, James could have easily beaten the record if he had been more available. But the King’s record chase was delayed because of the injuries he sustained. It seems like LBJ still has some gas left in the tank and might play for a few more seasons, even though Father Time is slowly starting to catch up with him.

By the time James hits 42, he might break the record, predicts Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated. That’s presuming he’s still in the NBA at that point and assuming he plays through injuries or maintains his health over that time.

In the past, LeBron James has stated that he hopes to play in the league with his son Bronny. This indicates that since Bronny is anticipated to declare for the NBA draft in 2024, James will most likely return to the league the following season. It’s unclear what will happen in the several years after his son’s freshman year.
