After twenty-two years of playing with an inexhaustible motor, LeBron James is finally reacting like a human. During the Lakers’ playoff loss in Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, James collided with Donte DiVincenzo. He knew right away something was wrong. But still, he couldn’t understand the extent of the injury. The Akron Hammer finished the game and aimed to get a further medical overview in a few days.
But the pain was just too much.
Although the Lakers saw their season end in Game 5, the 40-year-old still felt like giving his knee some time to rest before getting an MRI. All he knew at that point was “it was a pain that I hadn’t felt before,”. Still, before conducting further tests, James thought the soreness would wear off the next morning. But by then, even getting out of bed didn’t come without James feeling some afterburn from the collision.
“This is Wednesday night after the game, and I said, you know, if I wake up Thursday morning and it’s feeling and it didn’t feel any better than, you know, Friday morning, let’s get an MRI Friday morning. Well, when I woke up Thursday morning and tried to get out of bed, I was like, holy s**t. And I called Doc right away. I said, I can’t wait till Friday,” James revealed on Mind The Game.
