The Lakers lost, but nobody cares about winning or losing the game. After the game, the focus was still on James, because in the second quarter of the game, James left the court because of a right ankle injury. Everyone is concerned about his injury. He's James.
Let's see what happened first. In the second quarter of the game, James collided with the Hawks for the ball and was pushed by the other side, resulting in a sprained ankle. As you can see from the slow mirror, the collision should be unintentional and accidental. At first, James fell to the ground in great pain, but after simple treatment and examination, James was once back in the game, and his body was really strong, but for the sake of safety, he finally chose to go back to the dressing room for examination. So judging from these pictures alone, Lao Zhan's problem should not be big.
According to Kuzma, he said that at the moment when James was injured, he had never seen such screams and anger. It sounds scary, but don't worry, there is good news after the game. According to BenQ's report, the X-ray examination of James's right ankle was negative (negative is generally considered as no structural damage). Secondly, professional sports physiotherapist Rajpal Brar also gave his own opinion. He said that this looks like an obvious ankle valgus sprain (ankle valgus), which will put pressure on the medial ligament (called triangular ligament), but from the video, the situation is not that serious.
Of course, this is only a preliminary injury report, and MRI (nuclear magnetic resonance) examination is needed for the specific situation! At present, from all aspects, James's problem is not big, and it should be ok to rest for a few days.
James needs to rest a few games, Davis is absent and two key players are injured, which is undoubtedly a problem for the Lakers and James. First of all, the Lakers' record will definitely be affected, and second, James' MVP score will also drop. Fortunately, James scored 10 in this game, and his record was not interrupted. More importantly, people have nothing serious, which is enough. As for the so-called regular season MVP, it is certainly not as important as James' health. James knows that, too. Champion is the most important thing. Come back after the injury!
