Before coming into the game against the Rockets, the Lakers were 5-5 in the last 10. Surely, doesn’t excuse confidence for the team heading into the playoffs. Playing their last home game of the regular season, the Purple and Gold team wanted to put up a show for their fans. With third seed on the line, the lineup had LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and others. Even though it ended with a win, the Lakers nation was worried about King James’ in-game injury.
“LeBron visibly upset as he heads to the bench with what looks to be a reaggravated groin stroin. Eerily similar situation to when he reaggravated his 2021 ankle injury right before the 2021 playoffs…” During the third quarter, with the Lakers leading by a wide margin, star forward LeBron James appeared to re-injure his groin. He left the game and did not returned.
James was seen stretching his groin out on the bench. This is a major cause for concern for the Lakers after James missed multiple weeks back in March with a similar-looking injury. But the Lakers nation can breathe since LeBron returned to the sidelines and even celebrated a tough Austin Reaves layup in the fourth quarter. “LeBron James just walked to the basket after a Reaves stepback and moonwalked back to the bench for what it’s worth.”
