Stuck in a pathetic start to the season, the worst in franchise history, the Lakers have received some bad news regarding LeBron James. Decidedly, nothing seems to go as planned on the side of the city of angels… An endless tunnel.
If he was usually the one who floated in case of problems in his team, LeBron James is one of the concerns of the Lakers at the start of the season. Less skilful, less efficient, subject to physical glitches, the King is no longer a top 10 player in the league according to all observers. Even more problematic: at 38, the native of Akron combines health concerns at the start of the season, despite a studious summer during which he was able to garner a lot of rest.
Affected both in the adductor as in 2018, and in the foot, LeBron has been playing diminished for several meetings, at the risk of aggravating his worries. A trend that should end, since according to Shams Charania, the quadruple NBA champion will be put in the fridge for at least a week:
James may miss home games Friday vs. Kings and Sunday vs. Nets, which would give him and the Lakers eight days off until the next contest (Nov. 18 vs. Pistons) to recover from foot and adductor issues. https://t.co/NSjRH7BCQh

LeBron James could well miss home games against the Kings on Friday and against the Nets on Sunday, which would give him and the Lakers 8 days off until the next game on Nov. 18 against the Pistons. LeBron could thus recover from his foot and adductor glitches.
LeBron James already forced to rest after just 10 games to manage a double glitch in the foot and adductor: the news is anything but reassuring, and it will plunge Lakers fans into even deeper concern. Hoping for the Californians that the King, on his return, regains his level of last season, and not the more delicate one he has displayed since the start of the season…
