Recently, the Lakers officially announced that forward James will undergo re-examination in about 3 to 4 weeks due to right sciatica.
ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst talked about James' injury on the TV show: "Let me explain the elephant in the room, because when the Lakers officially announced this injury, I received a lot of inquiries. I am not Stephania Bell (ESPN Sports Medicine Specialist), but a 40-year-old guy plays golf and people ask me, 'Is this a golf-related injury? ' Because LeBron has been playing golf all summer, and sciatica happens to golfers a lot. "Let me point out that for a right-handed golfer, sciatica usually happens on the left side of your body because that's where the torque happens when you turn. Although LeBron's turnover level is not leading the league, he is constantly improving.
"So, this is a basketball-related injury. But I want to point out that LeBron was dealing with injuries at the beginning of the summer break, and at the end of the Lakers season, he sprained his knee and he recovered for about 6 weeks. So, his rhythm of body maintenance and training improvement throughout the summer was disrupted. Not only was he dealing with sciatica, but he was also returning to training intensity, so the Lakers wanted to be cautious "The second thing is that LeBron has suffered from lumbar disc issues during his career, and I'm not saying that's what causes sciatica because, as Stephania said, there are many things that can cause it, but there have been times in LeBron's career where he's had to get epidural injections to deal with inflammation in his lower back, and he's always recovered pretty well from that. So while this is certainly a blow to the Lakers early in the season, I think there are a lot of reasons to go slow with LeBron's return process, and you have to remember that they don't need LeBron to be at his best in November and December, they don't need him to be at his best until after the new year and into the spring. "
According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, James first experienced this nerve injury during a court training at the end of July or early August. It has been more than two and a half months since then; and James has not done much basketball training for more than a month before the start of the Lakers training camp.
