The 2023-24 NBA season begins next Tuesday for the Lakers and the team has managed to play through the preseason without any major injuries threatening their team.
Although Gabe Vincent, Jarred Vanderbilt and Jalen Hood-Schifino are dealing with minor injuries, most of the Lakers’ players have shown solid performance in tune-up games.
The headliner in the preseason was LeBron James, who only participated in three of six preseason games.
This form restriction is a strategy adopted due to the significant wear and tear the player has accumulated in recent seasons.
James suffered a right foot injury at the end of last season, which affected him for the remainder of the campaign. The question of how his health will hold up throughout the season is a topic of great interest.
However, James said he felt in good shape after the end of the preseason, as reported by reporter Mike Trudell:
“LeBron said he felt physically good after playing some preseason minutes. ‘I worked really hard to get fully healthy. I was able to stick to the plan. I felt really good.’ good in the last match and I hope I can continue to develop.” That momentum leads to third.’ ‘”
On Tuesday, the Lakers have a game against the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets, who they face in the Western Conference Finals. The match promises to be an exciting confrontation.
