May 15th News Recently, TheAthletic Lakers reporter Jovan Buha answered fans' questions on his personal podcast program.

Fan: "How is LeBron's injury? Do you think it will affect his next season? Or does he have enough time to recover? I've been worried about it since he missed MetGala (Metro Museum of Art Charity Gala) due to injury."

Buha: "I don't have much to add to LeBron's injury in public. I know he suffered a second-degree sprain from the left knee MCL (medial collateral ligament) The recovery schedule is 3-5 weeks (Note: James said in his personal podcast that the doctor advised him to rest for 4-6 weeks). There is still a long time before the start of next season, and we are not yet in mid-May, so there are still four and a half months before the start of next season's training camp and media day. So, LeBron has plenty of time to recover, and I am not worried about this injury.

"On the contrary, I think he puts his health first and is good for not attending MetGala. I won't have much interpretation of this. I understand the reasons why people are worried. He is 40 years old and will be 41 years old by the end of the year. It's not the kind of injury you want him to have at the beginning of the season. But it may be a good thing for him to take a break. I never worry about LeBron's physical condition and game size. So he'll take a break and I'm sure he'll still keep exercising to keep fit while he's resting on his knees. Once he is licensed for medical treatment, he will gradually increase his training intensity and return to his best condition. I don't think it will affect training camp, preseason or next season. He will have the entire offseason to recover and fully recover at the start of next season. ”
