Physical Therapist says LeBron’s groin injury recovery should’ve taken six months

[JimmyTheGreek]

According to a physical therapist who worked with LeBron while he rehabbed his injury said that he should’ve been out for even longer than he was. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Dr. Karen Joubert praised LeBron while claiming the groin strain should’ve sidelined him for six months.

Knew it. It was so obvious he reinjured it too. And it's clearly what she's talking about here. He's not gonna shut it down either

[pwrshft99]

And the excuses begin to roll in....

[tundraknight]

Yet so many fans here were quick to dance around his grave and say how washed up he is and how much better the West is than the East since he can’t even make the playoffs in the West etc. etc.

I think people like to forget the Lakers were a 4th seed before Lebron got injured.

[Jazztop]

So now he needs his physio to make excuses for him.

Can this guy get any less accountable?

[Jazztop]

Btw there’s no way any medical specialist can say anything about a patient publicly without that patient clearing it first.

So figure out who basically ordered her to put that out there.

Holy **** there is some idiots of here. Haters gonna hate, but some of y'all take it over the top.

[MagicBagley18]

Wow another lebrons a warrior he did it for the lakers and the good of the team story

[JimmerAllStar]

So after Space Jam 2 flops, Lebron's optometrist is going to come out and say that Lebron was legally blind for the past 6 months.
GTFO.


BTW, this chick is a physical therapist. She has no training in determining how severe an injury is and how long it should take to recover. Her job is to put together exercises so the injury can heal properly. Physical therapists are not medical doctors.

If my doctor started blabbing about things I have gone to see them about, i'd have a huge problem with them posting on Instagram about it for the world to see!

Something about doctor/patient privilege.......Unless of course I said post away as it will make me look better in the eyes of the casual NBA fan.

Got to protect my image you know!

[lakerz12]

Pretty obvious use of hyperbole and a figure of speech .... She wasn't being literal. She was only saying that the injury could have kept him out longer.

[AussieCeltic]

Just like he had a broken hand when he lost in the finals right guys?

[NBAFan93]

So is this implying that they should have sat LeBron out for the rest of the season to make sure he healed properly and they didn’t? I mean the post says “he still is” as in still injured.

[RTran85]

blah blah blah always effin excuses for LBJ when he takes an L

I hope we never see him in the playoffs again.

[picc]

Dont forget he broke his hand during the finals last year, or something like that. He's probably still recovering from that too.

The fair thing would have been to cancel basketball until a team of medics handpicked and flown in from the ends of the earth gave the ok for him to play basketball. But of course, everyone is against us, so the season went on.

PR Team delayed action

I’m sorry, what?

Two birds one stone with this BS

-Place the convenient excuse of injury to make it seem like Lebron is the absolute warrior for battling through a groin injury that 'was worse than Lebron was leading on'
-Place him smiling leaning his head against a random woman who's clutching Lebron's shoulder's as a message of peace to LA fans after all that 'Barbershop talk' uproar created by Lebron which may not have been fully embraced by everyone

It's all PR/positive image stuff now from here on out now that he's eliminated as I'm sure he has a few movies lined up for this summer

[vxmike]

Lebron has always recovered from injury much faster than normal humans. This isn’t really a story. He’s a top physical specimen.
