EL SEGUNDO, California – LeBron James will not play in first match of his team’s exhibition against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, but the star of Los Angeles Lakers He said he plans to spend a lot of time on the court during the preseason.
“Six preseason games, so I hope I can get to at least half of them,” he said. LeBron James after practice on Thursday. “But we’ll see. I think each game will dictate it. I won’t play Saturday’s game, that’s for sure, in the Bay. But we’ll see after that.”

The coach of the LakersDarvin Ham, said that LeBron James He has “without a doubt” regained his energy and has fully recovered from the injury. “He’s 100 percent healthy,” Ham said of James on Wednesday. “He looks good. He looks like a third or fourth year LeBron.”
The fact is, however, that LeBron James He is entering his 21st season and as athletic as he may still appear, the team and its medical staff have to take steps to protect him in coordination with James’ athletic trainer, Mike Mancias.
“We collaborate and communicate what those steps will be,” Ham said. “We made sure we came up with an effective plan. The beautiful thing about the way we’re moving forward is that he’s in phenomenal shape. Second, he probably has more years of experience outside of [Anthony Davis] that all the equipment combined into. In terms of games played and minutes played, he takes great care of himself.”
Los Lakers They continue their preseason schedule with a game in Las Vegas on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, followed by a matchup against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday in Anaheim and home games against the Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks before finishing in Palm Springs against the Suns on the 19th. October, five days before the start of the regular season on the road against the Denver Nuggets.
“We just relaxed,” Ham said of the plan to LeBron James. “The fact that our roster is what it is, he doesn’t have to start the season with his cape on, so to speak… The help he has around him will allow him to not have to be at full speed every practice and in every preseason game.
