LeBron James has been busy with his podcast program after entering the 2024-25 season early. For LeBron James, being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in the 2024-25 season was a huge blow. Because he is 40 years old, there is not much time left for him to win the championship, and he has been suffering from various injuries in the past two seasons.

In the regular season of the 2024-25 season, he suffered another groin injury, resulting in a missed some games. When he entered the playoffs, he encountered the opponent's strict defense, causing his left knee to be injured.

You should know that LeBron James' career is so long, more because he is self-disciplined and healthy enough. However, the frequent injuries and problems in recent years have also made LeBron and James feel a little overwhelmed on the court. Because the team wants to go further in the playoffs, they need LeBron James to keep playing healthy.

Recently, LeBron James responded to his left knee injury problem on his podcast. LeBron James said, "As I said in the last episode, it's a better challenge, getting better, getting better, and it's the most challenging thing. Even though I can't do much lower body exercise, I still like to exercise my upper body in the weight room."

"One of the things I can do is ride like a fixed bike, just to keep the blood flowing and keep the knees flexible as much as possible. But I'm not a person who likes to do nothing. I have a lot of energy, I ask for it." I'm tired of doing nothing, so this is definitely, almost two weeks after the season, they always tell you to take a break, I'm not that kind of person. I'm going crazy now, that's for sure."

LeBron James was eliminated in the 2024-25 playoffs, and he was also exposed to have suffered some serious injuries. Even if the Lakers won Game 5, LeBron James was seriously injured and would miss Game 6 of the first round of the playoff series.

In fact, our requirements for LeBron James are no longer as harsh as in the past. In the 2024-25 season, it is not easy for 40-year-old LeBron James to still average 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists.

2025-26 season is the last season of his contract. According to US media reports, LeBron James may break out of the contract and renew a contract with the Lakers for a two-year contract worth about $100 million.
