The Los Angeles Lakers have been fortunate to have LeBron James on their roster this season, as he has managed to stay relatively healthy despite dealing with a troublesome left ankle for most of the season. He has played in 63 out of the Lakers’ 73 games, and his strong performance has been a key factor in their success so far.
James occasionally had to sit out to manage the injury, but he made sure to prioritize his health over the team’s postseason seeding. This was evident when he sat out against the Milwaukee Bucks, watching as his team overcame a 19-point deficit to win in two overtimes. Despite missing the game, James returned to action against the Memphis Grizzlies and posted a triple-double to lead his team to its fifth straight win.
At 39 years old, James understands the importance of maintaining his health for both himself and the team’s success. He has been playing at an elite level this season, especially in terms of shooting efficiency. The Lakers will rely on him to continue providing that level of play if they want to make it through the playoffs and achieve their ultimate goal of winning another championship.
