LeBron James is dealing with an abdominal strain, however the injury doesn’t seem to be severe.
According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the four-time NBA champion will not remain out of action for a long time.
“Yeah, this is not a severe injury. He is rehabbing this, and from what I am told, the rehab is going well. He may have to do some reconditioning a little bit, but this is not going to keep him out an extended period.
He definitely has shown his age here on some of these muscle injuries like he had with the groin injury two years ago, there’s no doubt about that.
But this is not something that is going to dramatically impact his ability. And it’s coming at a portion of the schedule with the Lakers where it’s not that difficult.
They haven’t done great, I agree, but this is a time if you’re going to nurse an injury, this is that time of the season, and that’s what LeBron is doing,” Windhorst said.
LeBron James has missed the last three games of the Lakers, with the 17-time champions being 1-2 during this time. He will also be out vs the Miami Heat later tonight.
