LeBron James is the heart and soul of the current Los Angeles Lakers team. Despite being 38 years old, he has managed to carry most of the load for the team throughout this season.
But in the Lakers’ most recent victory against the Dallas Mavericks, James injured his ankle. It was initially reported that the injury could keep LeBron out for a long time. NBA insider Mark Medina recently debunked the report and delivered some good news for the Lakers fans.
“I have been told that LeBron’s definitely out for a couple of weeks. Thankfully, this isn’t something that doctors determine he needs to have surgery on it. Just needing time to let it calm down, the inflammation. So there is a chance that not only he’s coming back this season, this isn’t season-ending, but he can play through the pain once the initial pain calms down. So no structural issues.”

It is, without doubt, great news for the Laker Nation. James is still the franchise superstar and has proven that time and time again.
So learning that his injury isn’t season-ending will give the fans a sigh of relief. But the only question remains: Will James missing a couple of weeks take away the momentum of the new-look Lakers?
The Los Angeles Lakers Will Climb An Uphill Battle In The Absence Of LeBron James
The Los Angeles Lakers have finally started to get into the form that most expected the organization to be in at the start of the season. They have won three consecutive games and have improved their record to 29-32.
The Purple and Gold could theoretically reach a top-6 spot in the Western Conference. But with LeBron James injured and D’Angelo Russell sidelined as well, it will not be an easy task for the team. Anthony Davis will have to burden the majority of the pressure.
But with Davis, there is always the risk of the 29-year-old suffering a season-ending injury.
