According to previous reports, Lakers star LeBron James will miss 3-4 weeks due to sciatic nerve pain, and will miss the opening game and some games at the beginning of the season. On October 11, famous NBA reporter Shams Charania followed up the report, saying that James suffered an injury as early as late July, but the injury has not improved.
"James' previous neurological problem initially occurred during a court training in late July. He has been fighting and managing this injury for two and a half months so far," Charania said.
In addition, ESPN LA immediately invited sports medicine expert Dr. Alan Bayer to conduct an in-depth analysis of the superstar’s injury. Dr. Beyer breaks down the complexities of sciatica from a medical perspective. He pointed out that the sciatic nerve is the main nerve that controls the movement and sensory functions of all muscles in the leg and is composed of multiple nerve roots at different levels. Regarding James's situation, Bayer analyzed that a single lumbar disc herniation is usually difficult to cause typical sciatica, because it often involves only one nerve level. "This may mean that he has bulges and degeneration of multiple lumbar discs, consistent with his long career, or that the nerves at the sciatic notch in the pelvic area are compressed or irritated, which in turn affects leg function. "
Dr. Bayer expressed caution about a three- to four-week recovery timetable. "For athletes of James' age and degree of physical wear and tear, this expectation may be optimistic. As we all know, athletes over forty naturally recover less quickly than young people. In the end, it still depends on how he responds to rest, physical therapy and other treatments. We will know in the next two or three weeks. to get a clearer answer. "
If all the news is true, then James may be experiencing the most serious injury in his career. His aging has made him no longer as strong as he was when he was young. If he suffers an injury at this age, James' recovery time will also be further lengthened. Judging from the current situation, it will not be an accident if James is absent for a long time at the beginning of the season. What the Lakers need to do now is to solve the problem of personnel rotation without James on the team. It is reported that the Lakers will choose one of Smart, Laravia and Vanderbilt to replace James as the starter. The other four starters for the Lakers in the opening game will be Doncic, Reeves, Rui Hachimura and Ayton.
