James injury progress: Executives revealed that he may miss the first two months due to sciatica and return in December

On October 16, James will turn 41 in more than two months. The Lakers previously announced that he will be re-examined in 3-4 weeks due to right sciatica. However, an NBA executive anonymously accepted an interview with Lakers Daily reporter Ashish Mathur and revealed that James' physical recovery speed is not as fast as before. Even if he misses the first two months of the game, it will not be surprising. The Lakers must be very cautious. Sports analyst Evan Sidery believes James will need to wait until around Thanksgiving to fully recover.

An NBA executive spoke anonymously to Lakers Daily reporter Ashish Mathur said in an interview: "Sciatica is really painful. James' physical recovery speed is not as fast as before. I would not be surprised if he does not play in October or November. The Lakers must treat James' injury with caution. I think they will be very cautious."

As for the Lakers' official announcement before, James will be re-examined in about 3-4 weeks due to right sciatica.

According to previous reports, James' injury first appeared during the court training phase from late July to early August. In other words, James has been fighting sciatica for the past two to three months.

Sports analyst Evan Sidery said that James' condition has further deteriorated in the past month, resulting in him being unable to perform any on-court basketball activities. It is very likely that he will not have a chance to fully recover until around Thanksgiving, that is, around November 27, so he may need to wait until December to return to the game.
