Lakers’ LeBron James out vs. Bucks, day to day with ‘severe’ ankle soreness, coach says

By Jovan BuhaMar 9, 2024

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James missed his ninth game of the season Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks due to left ankle tendinopathy.

“Just experiencing some severe soreness and we just decided for him not to play tonight,” coach Darvin Ham said of James pregame.

Ham said James’ injury is a “day to day thing” and the team will see how he feels Saturday before determining his status for Sunday’s home game against Minnesota.

Ham added that James’ ankle injury doesn’t appear to be curable before the season ends.

“I don’t think anybody’s injury at this point in the season or anything they’re managing will get better,” Ham said. “I mean, it’s just, it’s the reality of a long NBA season and an extremely long NBA career. And so you just have to be mindful of it, be efficient with what you do with him and what you expose him to.

“And we trust our staff. They’re gonna do their due diligence to make sure he’s put in the best possible position to help us.”

James missed the Lakers’ final game before the All-Star break and their first game back from the break due to the ankle injury, which has affected him for months.

The 39-year-old superstar limped off the floor to the locker room during a Lakers timeout late in their 130-120 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

“I’ll be all right,” James said Wednesday. “It’s just what I’ve been dealing with before the break, after the break. I’m just managing it the best way I can. … Some games are better than others. … So, each game, each day is different.”

Despite winning 10 of its past 15 games, the Lakers dropped back to 10th in the West this week. They are 4-4 without James this season.

From people who see heaven after being declared clinically dead, to those who believe they’ve been reincarnated, there are plenty who are certain that life goes on after death. Now, others are claiming to have had ‘pre-birth experiences’ – and insist they experienced consciousness before they were even born while their soul was already alive and getting ready to enter a human body. Also known as a ‘pre-mortal’ or ‘near-birth’ experiences, self-proclaimed ‘psychics’ on social media claim they remember their soul travelling down a ‘pre-birth tunnel’ and into their human bodies.

As Democrats all over the world weep into their kombucha, I’m afraid I have only one thing to say: you brought this on yourselves.

As Democrats all over the world weep into their kombucha, I’m afraid I have only one thing to say: you brought this on yourselves. I’m sure Kamala Harris is a perfectly nice woman but at no point during this campaign did she demonstrate the strength of character, vision and sheer star power required to win the White House. Many Americans – certainly most Americans I know – have deep reservations about Donald Trump. They find him distasteful, divisive, deeply dodgy. And indeed, he can be all of those things. But even the staunchest of liberals felt deeply disappointed and let down by this Biden administration and, in particular, its stubborn refusal to acknowledge the current President’s evident shortcomings. Harris was a poor choice of candidate – but perhaps more significantly she was also an establishment choice on the part of an elite desperate to stay in power, a human box-ticking exercise who, whatever her own personal merits, was always going to stick in the craw of the ordinary American.

Many people on the Right in Britain are delighted by Donald Trump’s victory. He has seen off Kamala Harris, a patently mediocre woman of the soft Left who champions woke causes. I am very far from delighted. In fact, I’m profoundly depressed.

Many people on the Right in Britain are delighted by Donald Trump’s victory. He has seen off Kamala Harris, a patently mediocre woman of the soft Left who champions woke causes. I am very far from delighted. In fact, I’m profoundly depressed. There is good reason to believe that Trump will be bad for America, the world and Britain. Of course, we don’t have very much idea what he will do since such policies as he unveiled during the presidential campaign were pretty vague, and may never see the light of day.
