Redick updates injuries, LeBron eyes smart prep

Maxi Kleber, who just returned healthy, tweaked his quad during conditioning and will undergo an MRI, coach JJ Redick confirmed. He missed most of last season and had only five playoff minutes. The Lakers’ first preseason game is Friday.

LeBron James, entering Year 23, said his training camp role will be managed carefully. With so many miles on his body, he focuses on presence as much as performance—because at this point, LeBron is basically a luxury SUV that’s still somehow driving like new.
