From bad to worse for the Lakers, beaten in the derby against the Clippers and forced to collect the ninth defeat of the season in the first 11 games, which came at the end of a match that LeBron James first tried to dominate his opponents – 30 points in 32 minutes on the court with 12/22 shootingin what was his best offensive performance of the season – while then he was forced to raise the white flag, stopped by what generically it is called “pain in the left leg”, with the yellow-violet No. 6 touching his groin conspicuously as he headed for the locker room in the middle of the fourth period. A bad sign, with the grimace of pain drawn on LeBron’s face – busy a moment before protesting with the referee and then realizing the annoyance – that doesn’t bode well: should he also fail for the Lakers (already absent in the match two days ago) the season for the Los Angeles franchise would become even more uphill than it already has in these first three weeks.

In the post game coach Darvin Ham explained that it will only be the exams in the next few days to establish the extent of James’s injurywho introduced himself to the microphones and explained that he “feels good” and that he felt some sort of discomfort in the groin area and that he stopped for that: “If it’s like the problem I had in 2018? No, it doesn’t seem that bad to me“The hope of the Lakers is that James is not wrong this time either.
