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.
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?
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.
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
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.
[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;14277257]It's not a freak injury when it's an old guy. Father Time is undefeated[/QUOTE]
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
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.
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?

"high sprain" is a horrible phrase to hear, harder to heal and rehab back into shape than a simple fracture...
bran in a walking boot is still a better player than all of the players you've stanned over the years OP

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.
[QUOTE=warriorfan;14277760]He’s faking it so he has an excuse for when he loses.[/QUOTE]
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.

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?
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.
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"
:oldlol: ok bro....you really think this low of lebron smh

"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"

His BS legacy is by far better than any other current player's legacy.
Players like lebron certainly know their bodies. I believe he hit the 3 to keep his streak going but you're a hater if you dont believe hes not hurt. He prob rehabs and needs 4 5 weeks.
[QUOTE=warriorfan;14277760]He’s faking it so he has an excuse for when he loses.[/QUOTE]
Yeah always something.
He needs to come back already. He trying to avoid us, Nets and Sixers.
