LeBron James diagnosed with high ankle sprain

[jmcwilliams]

Possibly. Recovery time is 6 weeks to 3 months or longer depending on how badly damaged the ligaments are. Playing on an injured High Ankle sprain can lead to A broken Tibia. I think he might actually be done for the season. It's possible that he could be okay to play sometime inside the playoffs if his team can carry on without him and hold the fort down. Not good.

the high sprain is so much worse than the normal sprain, messes the attachment to your bones, damages the connection with the calf muscle....

depends on how serious

as noted elsewhere i had a bad one a few years ago, along with a fracture in the ankle; the fracture was almost ignored as it would be fine with an air cast and time to mend

the sprain on the other hand, took months to get back to normal, going down stairs was a chore

of course he's much better physically and gets all the modern help, but this injury is usually 4-6 weeks in the NFL

Hopefully, the 4 weeks is all that is needed. I want to say that Basketball is probably worse on these parts of the body than football though. Noone is going to want Lebron to come back in 4 weeks only to reinjure himself. Im saying 6 weeks at the very least.

Jeff Stotts@InStreetClothes

Over the last seven 82-game seasons, the average missed time for an isolated high ankle sprain is ~10 games. However the variability is high and a quicker return is possible.

[tpols]

I hope he comes back. League would be boring without LeBron.

[insight]

Every injury is different there are 3 grades of a sprain and every athlete recovers differently. For example Ja Morant had a grade two sprain but could not put weight on his foot and left in a wheel chair but was back in 3 weeks. Lebron attempted to play on and was jumping on the ankle 5 minutes after the injury, there is just not enough information on the extent of the injury yet.

[jmcwilliams]

Considering Lebrons Scream of anguish I would think that his injury is on the worse end of the spectrum. Then again, Ive hit my little Toe on the coffee table and had A similar reaction. I'm fine now. Took A few hours to recover.

[mehyaM24]

he'll be back before the playoffs. lebron haters are celebrating prematurely..

[KOBEtherealKing]

Him, AD ad lakers will be fine.

i demand he is back for the playoffs

so i can swear at him on TV and throw things

with all due respect to his talent and career, of course

Klay Thompson played with a high ankle sprain in the 2018 NBA Finals. He missed zero games.

This. There's still a lot of regular season to go. It will actually help the Lakers in the long run.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Lakers season is in danger of being over. If Lebron is out a month and Davis is out for another 2 weeks, they may lose all those games in that span. Looking at how tight the west conference is, this could eventually lead to Lebron\Davis returning for the PLAY IN game to make playoffs.

[Shooter]

This. There's still a lot of regular season to go. It will actually help the Lakers in the long run.

It will give the less desirables a chance to build and shine. THT might step up. Maybe Kuzma for once. We shall see.

[Thenameless]

As long as we make the playoffs.....that's all I'm asking. If the Lakers take eighth place and have a healthy James and Davis going into the playoffs, whoever is number one is not going to be happy.

[Axe]

Still believe he can return when playoff time comes, knowing king kong lol.

Not to mention his tweet on the issue....



Nothing angers and saddens me more than not being available to and for my teammates! I’m hurt inside and out right now. ����*♂️. The road back from recovery begins now. Back soon like I never left. #ThekidfromAKRON����

I hope LeBron doesn't press this to keep up in the MVP race or something like that.

High ankle sprains can be rough, but even at 36, I think LeBron will be mostly completely fine by the end of April. He might lack some of his lateral quickness, but his full court speed and bounce and dexterity will still be there. He's 6'9" 260 and he's powerful and his jumper is solid. He can get an efficient 27 a game when the time comes, especially if AD is good to go and close to 100%. Give it five or so weeks , get him back by earlyish May, ramp up for the playoffs. Doesn't really matter where they finish in the West in my eyes. The Clippers cannot beat them, the Lakers would win in 6 games. Nuggets aren't good enough without a decent move to replace Jerami Grant. One thing I think this will seriously do is hinder their ability to beat the Nets, assuming KD is back and 95% of himself and Kyrie makes it through the season healthy.

I want the Lakers to get Andre Drummond. He's not a great player, but he's a big, elite athlete who can snatch every rebound and I think would be an obvious upgrade compared to Gasol. He's an elite rebounder, lob threat and he gives the Lakers another guy who can just do things. He could get 17-18 ppg with LeBron and just staying in his role. With Schroder, Trezzl, Kuzma, KCP, Caruso and THT filling in the spots, it's a decent team even without AD. With AD at 90% still very dangerous. LeBron just needs to recover and take it easy.

Celebrating a players injury? Why are there so many sick fvcks on this forum? A lot of you have high school mass shooter mentality. All angry virgins

I won't celebrate but we're sick of Lebron because he's the John Cena of basketball. He's holding back other talent by hogging spotlight.

[Stanley Kobrick]

I'm going easy on Lebron because I believe he was intentionally injured on orders from Powers That Be. Seeing them plan and pull off injuries confirms my believe that they view athletes like Lebron as non-human.

Thank you Powers That Be for purposefully injuring that piece of shit. Hope that ankle injury ends his career like Grant Hill.

He will be sluggish when he returns.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Hes out for a month only, at most. And once Lebron and AD return for the playoffs, the Lakers will be reinstated as the title favorite. Its ring or bust season still, no excuse if they dont win it all.

[jlip]

As of today, the Lakers are only four games ahead of the Mavs who are in the 8th spot. Best case scenario, LeBron is out for just another 3 weeks. I think I counted 11 games within that span. With no AD either, they could conceivably go 4-7 or 3-8 in that time, possibly falling out of the playoffs.

It would be interesting seeing the Lakers be one of the three teams that would have to participate in the Play-in tournament just to officially make the playoffs.

Also if they end up being a 7th or 8th seed, that could be a serious problem for either the Jazz or Suns who will more than likely end up with the top two seeds..

LA should want nothing to do with going into Utah for seven game series. People don’t realize how treacherous that altitude is and how ****ing dominant that HomeCourt advantage has been for like the past 30 years.

D-Will jazz almost took the entire Western Conference based on that HomeCourt advantage. they basically never lost in that arena for like a season.

Won't matter. The league and refs will make sure the public has to see LeBron's bald spot in the finals again.

This is the first year they've really been great at home under COTM. Been a better road team for whatever reason. Defense travels I guess?

[Indian guy]

Let's say he misses a month, that's around 15 games. Given that AD is out too, I can't imagine a top-heavy team like LA managing to win a single game without its 2 best players. LA lost all 4 games they played without AD/Schroder earlier in the season. Without AD/LeBron? Yikes. There's just no way they are going to be in the top 8 by the time LeBron returns. They'll be fighting for the play-in at the end of the regular season, with LeBron/AD fresh off serious injuries and far from where you'd want them to be.

The season is essentially over for LA. And the manner in which it happened has to be quite unprecedented for a great team.

- Defending champ continues to be elite in quest for 2nd title
- #2 at worst for favorites to win championship
- Best player is tops in the MVP race with 60% of the season over

....and all comes crashing down thanks to a freak injury. Given that LeBron will by 37 the following season and Nets will manage to bolster their roster even more so in the offseason, let's just be grateful LA managed to win a championship last season and made LeBron's move to LA a major success.

[clipps]

High ankle sprains are a lot more common in football. Players typically miss more than half the season if they're lucky.

It's not a freak injury when it's an old guy. Father Time is undefeated

[TheMan]

Sucks if he can't be healthy enough to defend his chip...as an MJ fan, I gotta give Bron credit for being so durable, he has mostly avoided big injuries his whole career but him being on the wrong side of 30 and nearing 40, even he will start to be more injury prone as he gets up there in age.

[Indian guy]

Ummm it wasn't a non contact injury or injury from wear and tear. It was just a freak play (I'm assuming you've seen the play?) that could've happened to anybody.

That's great news. We might get an un-rigged playoffs now. :rockon:

i used to scoff at them announcing 4-6 weeks out.. then i got a high sprain...

to keep an NFL RB out means it's severely bad, it would have killed a mere mortal

[getting_old]

the air cast is such an important development over the last few decades

worst part of my last 3 years was sitting there hearing a consultation on whether to put my broken ankle (with a high sprain) into a plaster cast (and crutches)

nope, thankfully

I believe that's why Alvin Kamara had a terrible season 2 years ago.

[nineiron]

negative MRI and he easily put weight on it right after it happened.

why is he sitting out? already getting the excuses ready for his inevitable failure this year?

He’s faking it so he has an excuse for when he loses.

He did the same shit two years ago. And in 2010 "Elbowgate"... whenever the dude is losing he pulls this stunt and it's not a coincidence.

[k 96]

He’s faking it so he has an excuse for when he loses.

Lakers coaching staff, and ESPN advised Bron, and Anthony Davis to take it easy during the regular season. To fake injuries so that both could take sometime off, and heal. They need to be full strength for the playoffs. So that nothing can get in the way of a 2nd Championship in as many years. NBA is all business, and Los Angeles, and LeHYPE can bring them the most money.

RIGGED NBA

[Stanley Kobrick]

bran purposely dropping his team from 2nd to 7th seed by sitting out just to face an easier team in playoffs its obvious

:facepalm

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. When Lebron got injured last week the Lakers had just won four games in a row, in 2nd place, and gaining ground on the Jazz for the #1 seed. At what point was "he losing" when Solomon Hill dove into his leg? What "losing" scenario would precipitate a leading MVP candidate whose team is on a winning streak to fake an injury so he wouldn't have to play?

[Akeem34TheDream]

He faked an injury in 2019 but not this time. They were doing ok without AD and AD was expected to comeback before the playoffs.

making excuses to protect his 'legacy' is more important when you know you have no chance to win it all.

[Im so nba'd out]

So a 4-time world champion who carried george hill to the Finals as his second best player and tyrone lue to 3 str8 Finals is faking an injury......18 years into his career.....when he was the #2 seed in the west....So he had the split-second wherewithal to realize "hey i can get out of blame if i rile on the floor in pain if this dude rolls an inch or two closer to my ankle....i better take this chance"

"losing" - he knows there's no chance for them to win this year. he's already anticipating "losing". this little ankle sprain was perfect timing for him.

not saying it didn't hurt at the moment it happened (probably didn't hurt THAT much, but we all know he's a pu$$y so his reaction is expected)

check the thread title fool. he's 'healthy enough' to play. i'm sure 99% of players are dealing with some kind of injury or soreness.

he's taking this time off because he knows they're not winning this year. this will make a perfect excuse for him and his BS "legacy"
