Ugly tile for the Los Angeles Lakers, the well-known basketball team that plays at the top basketball championship USA, the NBA (Natioanl Basketball Association). Four-time NBA champion and team star, LeBron James, tested positive for Covid-19 in the past few hours. TMZ reports that the player has been subjected to three molecular swabs: the first gave a positive result, the second negative and the third positive.
It all happened before the match against Sacramento. At the time the player was put in isolation and for him the security protocol developed by the NBA for these cases was triggered. The champion did return to Los Angeles by private jet and will have to remain in quarantine for at least ten days, thus skipping several games. James’s presence is very important, especially at the start of the season, as the Lakers have yet to find theirs “Squaring the circle”.
Already injuries for James
James will have to produce two negative tests before returning to the team’s disposal. We must specify, this for completeness of information, that the player is in excellent health, as he is fully vaccinated against Covid-19. LeBron James would be asymptomatic. The jet with the qiale the player is back in “City of Angels” it was hired by the sports club.
And meanwhile, even without James’s presence, the Lakers smashed the Sacramento Kings led by Anthony Davis e Russell Westbrook. If it is not negative, James could also skip next Friday’s appointment, or the derby with the Los Angeles Clippers, another NBA franchise.
James had already jumped 11 of the 22 Lakers’ games this season due to ankle and abdomen injuries. In short, not a positive start to the season for the Lakers star, who travels at an average of over 25.8 points per game, this confirms the importance that the player has within the franchise. We just have to wish LeBron James a good recovery.
