LeBron out 3-4 weeks, set to miss Lakers opener

LeBron out 3-4 weeks, set to miss Lakers opener

LeBron James, the star player of the Los Angeles Lakers, is set to miss the team's season opener due to a sciatica injury on his right side. The Lakers announced that James will be sidelined for an additional three to four weeks, delaying his return to the court. Sciatica is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the leg due to pressure on the sciatic nerve. The injury is expected to keep James out of the Lakers' first few games of the season, as the team aims to have him back on the court by mid-to-late November. The Lakers will have to navigate the early part of the season without their star player, as they look to improve upon their disappointing 2021-22 campaign. James' absence will be a significant blow to the team's chances of starting the season strong and building momentum for a playoff push.
