Lakers superstar LeBron James’ initial return from a high ankle sprain was met with significant soreness after jumping straight into two games, leading the team and player to ramp down his workload and methodically work his way back to the court.
Six games later, LeBron returned vs. the Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans for the final two games of the regular season to ramp up for the playoffs, a run that will start in Wednesday’s play-in game vs. the Golden State Warriors.
Considering LeBron’s tumultuous return and a slight “tweak” at the end of the Pelicans game, the question on every Lakers fan’s mind (and the NBA in general) becomes:
How healthy is LeBron heading into these playoffs?
