The 40-year-old James is at the forefront again! Lake Journal: Observe the Lakers during the injury period and may leave if they do not meet expectations

On October 11, according to Shams reports, LeBron James' sciatica first occurred during a training session in July. So far, he has been fighting and managing this injury for two and a half months.

Shams also said in the podcast: James' sciatica has become worse in the past month. LeBron has been unable to perform any basketball training. LeBron may not return to the game until around Thanksgiving. He will still need some time to recover, such as regaining shape, maintaining training intensity, etc.

Because of James' injury problem, ESPN Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin also analyzed James' injury in the podcast, but he also talked about the possible changes that this injury may have for James:

When James is injured, James will observe this new Lakers team. If the Lakers perform poorly/struggle when James is absent, then at some point this season we may see James' next decision.

According to previous statements from Shams and Rich Paul, the Lakers have always paid attention to every decision made by James. LeBron's priority at this stage is to win the game. Once the Lakers fail to win, he may look elsewhere for a winning combination.

James has once again been talked about leaving Los Angeles. This is not once or twice. Ever since James failed to negotiate a contract extension with the Lakers during the offseason, there has been news that LeBron will leave the Lakers. LeBron wants to join the Mavericks to team up with Irving, Flagg, Big Eyebrow, and there are rumors of LeBron and the Warriors having another scandal.

Rumors of James leaving the team come up every now and then. In addition, this time James decided to focus on alcohol advertising, which made him lose a wave of popularity again. Now the 40-year-old man has a very negative image in front of the media, and everyone wants to step on him?
