Was LeBron due to be back by those games anyway from his own injury?

Probably not for the March 22nd game, but they play each other on April 7th in the second to last regular season game for the Lakers. LeBron could definitely be back for that one.

Unless it’s that important for seeding purposes, I don’t think main star players usually play in the final few reg season games anyway.

Considering how garbage the Pelicans, Jazz, Thunder and Blazers have been post-AS break, I think the Lakers will surpass all 4 teams handedly by that game and have a play-in spot secured so playing in that game really may not be necessary.

At least three weeks out.


This just keeps getting worse.

I've never seen someone get hurt like this. The good thing is at least it's his left foot and not the right one where he ruptured his Achilles.
