The Los Angeles Lakers announced Thursday that LeBron James, their star player, would not play in the first NBA preseason game on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. Besides, he should not play much during the preparation matches for the next Championship, which will begin on October 24. “We have six preparatory matches, I hope to be able to play at least half of them,” James said, as quoted by ESPN. But we’ll see. I think each game will dictate that. »
LeBron James will be the oldest player in the NBA (he will be 39 next December). Last season, he missed 27 games due to a right foot injury. James explained Thursday that the tendon was almost completely torn. But the first observations of his performance at Lakers training camp have been extremely positive.
Darvin Ham, the coach of the Californian franchise, confided that his player “was 100% healthy.” […] He looks like the LeBron of his third or fourth year (of the NBA). […] With the squad he has around him, he won’t need to be at full strength in every training session and every preseason game. »
