LeBron James seems to have avoided a serious left groin injury following a game against the Celtics, with initial reports indicating less concern than in the past. James expressed limited worry after the game, but a full recovery could take time, affecting his availability as the Lakers face a packed schedule ahead. Coaches are monitoring the situation closely, with no definitive timetable yet for his return. His prior experience with groin injuries makes him cautious, recalling a significant absence during the 2018 season due to a similar issue.
"The first thing that popped into my mind was Christmas Day my first year with the Lakers. ... I've been there before and I know what type of injury you're dealing with."
"And then I'm over there just trying to see how much mobility and see if I can possibly give it a go... I was probably going to be done for the rest of the night."
