Shannon Sharpe and LeBron James
NBA analyst Shannon Sharpe thinks that NBA legend LeBron James’ injury is a big concern for the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron was ruled out against the Jazz, citing an injury scare. However, in his absence, the team failed badly as he just watched them lose helplessly.
Shannon Sharpe was talking on the show ‘Undisputed,’ where he quoted, “Something is going on with LeBron, it is his lower extremities. I don’t know if it is his hip, his knee, his ankle, his foot. It said he missed this game because of foot soreness.” Sharpe also feels that LeBron’s health will significantly affect the Lakers’ run this season.
Shannon added, “I was concerned after three games. Anybody that gets an injury in Year 20 is serious. LeBron is not 22. It’s going to come out in time that he was dealing with something.” Earlier as well injuries kept LeBron away from the game for a more extended period in recent years.
Los Angeles Lakers fall to Utah Jazz as LeBron James misses out
A comprehensive Utah Jazz defeated the LA Lakers 139-116. Lauri Markkanen was the top scorer with 23 points, and Jordan Clarkson added 22 to the tally for the Jazz. For the Lakers, Anthony Davis scored a season-high 29 points, and Russell Westbrook added 22 points coming off the bench. The Lakers franchise is reeling behind as they have only won 2 out of their ten games, losing eight.
Their star player LeBron James missed the game along with Lonnie Walker IV, and Patrick Beverley as he was sidelined due to left foot soreness. He has also been listed on the team’s injury reports after almost every game. This left the LA Lakers with only 11 players available for the team selection. Head coach Darvin Ham gave out the news of LeBron’s injury.
James is an essential piece in the Lakers line-up like it has always been for them. With most of the players looking out of form, he was the only light of hope left for the fans. However, if his injury detains him to not play for a longer time, it will be one significant loss for the franchise. They hope he recovers soon and returns to the line-up to get their campaign back on track.
