LeBron and his persistent injuries

King James has endured a lot of injuries this season and he recently injured his hand in the 2023 All-Star game. His sound health is important for the team’s success. Before the All-Star weekend, King James was sidelined due to his ankle injury that was still hurting him.

Nonetheless, James is dedicated to seeing the postseason, in his 20th year in the league. LeBron said,

“I want to make a push to make the playoffs.

I see myself not being kept out of the postseason two years straight. That’s not part of my DNA. We’re sitting here talking about the record, and things of that nature, but I’m more passionate about trying to make the postseason and give ourselves a chance to compete for another Larry O’Brien Trophy. That’s just who I am. That’s what I’m cut from.”

Let’s see if King James will be able to make it to the postseason without any injuries.
