Jovan Buha Reports Lack Of Clarity On LeBron James’ Status
LeBron James was sidelined during the Lakers’ 107-98 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers due to soreness in his left foot. Although there were expectations for his return in the subsequent game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he missed that game as well.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick stated that James is currently absent from the team for personal reasons. This situation has raised concerns among Lakers supporters about the superstar’s condition. Jovan Buha from The Athletic recently noted that, as of now, no definitive timeline has been established for James’s return to the Lakers.
The Lakers are currently in the 10th spot in the Western Conference standings with 13 wins and 12 losses. James’ presence is crucial for the team in the upcoming games.
