LeBron James Will Miss Opening of NBA Campaign due to Sciatic Issues.
LeBron James commenced his career with the Cleveland team in 2003.
The Lakers superstar is sidelined for up to four weeks and is confirmed to miss the opening of the league campaign due to sciatic nerve pain, the Los Angeles Lakers announced.
James, forty, agreed to a new agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers in June of this year and is poised to be the first player to participate across 23 separate NBA seasons.
Sciatic nerve issues is a pain in the sciatic nerve that travels down the lower back and down the leg.
James has not taken part in exhibition games and did not play in the defeats against the Warriors and the Phoenix Suns earlier this month because of the glute nerve irritation.
The American is expected to be sidelined for each of the five of the Lakers' games in October, which includes the first game against Golden State Warriors.
James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, has never previously missed the start of the NBA year in his 22-season tenure.
His count of one thousand five hundred sixty-two games played is just 50 short than breaking former Boston Celtics star Parish's NBA record.
The champion featured in 70 of the LA Lakers' 82 games last season and competed in 71 matches in the year before.
In the most recent campaign, James averaged 24.4 points per game, 8.2 assists and nearly 8 rebounds per game and placed sixth in the Most Valuable Player vote.
The Lakers made it to the playoffs in the 2024-25 season but fell four games to one against the Minnesota in the first round.
