LeBron James Sets the Record Straight on Timetable for His Return from Injury

LeBron James took to Twitter on Thursday to provide an update on his right foot injury, which has kept him sidelined since February 26th. The update arrived just hours after reports suggested that James intends to play in the final week of the regular season.

In his tweet, James said, “There wasn’t an evaluation today, and there hasn’t been any target date for my return. I’m just working around the clock, every day (3X a day) to give myself the best chance of coming back full strength whenever that is. God bless y’all sources. I speak for myself!”

LeBron’s comments suggest that he may not return to the court this season, but the Lakers announced that James had resumed on-court activity and is progressing with gradual basketball movements.

NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported that there is increasing optimism that James could return to play a few games in the final week of the regular season. The Lakers are currently fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, holding the No. 10 seed with a 36-37 record.

Before his injury, LeBron was averaging an impressive 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game this season. His return to the court would provide a much-needed boost to the Lakers, who have struggled without him.

While there is no official timeline for James’ return, his dedication to his recovery shows his commitment to his team and the sport. Fans are eagerly awaiting his return, and we wish him a speedy and full recovery.

As the Lakers fight to secure a playoff spot, the question remains: will LeBron James make a triumphant return to the court this season? Only time will tell, but fans of the sport will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on his progress.
