The Los Angeles Lakers recently played against the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden on Saturday night. Notably, things did not go well for either LeBron James or his Lakers side. The Lakers lost against the Celtics in a crunch matchup by 111-101. On the other hand, James left the game late in the 4th quarter due to a groin injury, leaving his fans concerned.

In addition, James made an alarming admission regarding his recent injury. The 22-year NBA veteran said that his thoughts immediately turned to Christmas Day 2018. This was when he sustained a torn groin and missed the next 17 games, slowing Los Angeles’ progress in his first season with the team. However, that does not seem to be the case.
