Intriguing Video Of LeBron James On Tuesday
On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will be in New Orleans to face off with the Pelicans.
However, LeBron James has been ruled out for the eighth straight game due to a foot injury.
The good news is that ESPN's Dave McMenamin shared a video of the four-time NBA Champion getting shots up at shootaround (on Tuesday)
Via McMenamin: "James lifted and did rehab during Lakers shootaround, per the team. The standstill free throws was the first on-court activity for James since the injury, per the Lakers."
Before getting injured, he had been in the middle of another fantastic season with averages of 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists per contest in 47 games (while shooting 50.1% from the field).
Despite his absence, the Lakers have been able to play well as of late and were recently on a three-game winning streak (before losing to the New York Knicks on Sunday).
They are 7-3 in their last ten games and currently in a three-way tie for the ninth seed in the Western Conference with a 33-35 record in 68 games.
James is in his 20th season in the NBA (and his fifth playing for the Lakers).
They won the NBA Championship in 2020 but have also missed the NBA Playoffs in two out of the last four seasons.
On March 2, the Lakers announced an update on James.
Via The Lakers on March 2: "LeBron James has been evaluated by Lakers team physicians and medical staff, and it has been determined that he has sustained a right foot tendon injury. James will be reevaluated in approximately three weeks."
