LeBronโs Groin vs. Lakersโ Luck โ Who Wins?…
The injury fairy has blessed the Lakers with her unsolicited presence again, this time nudging LeBron James during a less-than-magical showdown with the Boston Celtics. Struck by the dreaded left groin strain, LeBron seemed cool about it โ maybe he’s just tired of answering “how’s the groin?” at every press conference. Bearing in mind the cautious nature of the Lakers, they’ve sent their 22nd-year wonder home to soak up some sun in L.A. while perfecting the art of rehab.
With a road trip that resembles a nightmare hike up Mount Everest, the Lakers seem to agree that wrapping King James in bubble wrap might be best. Between couch potato mode and top-tier treatment, LeBron’s making progress. His absence sure makes the West feel like an Indiana Jones-style temple run, where slipping down the standings feels like dodging blow darts. But don’t worry, as long as LeBron’s flexing that rehab muscle, Lakers fans should hang tight!
Rich Paul, LeBron’s agent, knows when to walk on eggshells, especially when he’s passing the mic to LeBron’s body โ which apparently skips physiotherapy advice for its own opinion. With help from Mike Mancias and the Lakers’ medical wizards, hopefully, weโll see King James back dunking faster than you can say โWhereโs my remote?”
