NBA – The Lakers still beaten, LeBron’s worrying statement about his health

Like the entire Lakers team, LeBron James was beneath everyone during the big defeat suffered against the Suns. The King is also worried about his health even though he has just celebrated his 39th birthday… and his clarification on the subject has not reassured anyone.

The more the days pass, the more the triumph at the In-Season Tournament becomes a curse for the Lakers. Only 10th in the Western Conference with a negative record (19 wins for 20 losses), the Californians have not put one foot in front of the other since mid-December. Last night against the Suns, LeBron James and his teammates were completely beaten by almost 20 points (127-109).

Incidentally, the winger was particularly worrying during this meeting with only 10 points at 3/11 shooting. Even his 9 assists don’t take away the impression that he was completely burnt out, even though he has just celebrated his 39th birthday. Not ideal when the season is still long and his team is floundering… Questioned by journalists, LBJ made a clear and clear statement… and yet.

Fans worried about LeBron’s physical health
It would be difficult to give a more laconic response and we cannot say that the King reassured anyone in this way. The problem at the moment is that Los Angeles needs him more than ever to hope to go to the playoffs. This therefore implies a higher workload than expected and his age may not be forgiving. Perhaps we saw the beginnings of it during this heavy setback, moreover…

Is the King finally slowing down?

Man you’re not okay

LeBron James may say that he feels good, but we can legitimately doubt it. The winger has been well supported by Anthony Davis since the start of the season but behind him, things are stuck and he must therefore make even more effort. It could be expensive in the final sprint.
