Basketball superstar LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is likely to miss the start of the NBA season, according to media reports. As reported by ESPN and The Athletic, the 40-year-old is suffering from sciatica, which will force him to take a break of three to four weeks. This means that the league opener on the night of October 22 against the Golden State Warriors will come too soon for the four-time NBA champion.
James is entering his 23rd NBA season with the Lakers. Although the “King” will be 41 years old at the end of December, he is still considered one of the best players in the league. Alongside his legitimate successor Luka Doncic, James wants to compete for the championship one more time before the end of his career. He remains tight-lipped about a possible retirement. His contract expires next year.
