On October 10, the Lakers officially announced that forward James will undergo re-examination in about 3 to 4 weeks due to right sciatica. Considering James' age and visible retirement expectations, many people are very worried about the veteran's status. A few days ago, TA Lakers team reporter Wojko talked about the Lakers' attitude in an interview.

When asked how concerned the Lakers were about James' injury, Wojko said: "Yeah, I would say the level of concern is mild. No one is panicking about it, he has not stopped participating in basketball activities, so his comeback process will not be from Starting from scratch. I think the message I'm getting from behind the scenes is that there will be adjustments this season. LeBron has been injured at the end of the season three times in the past four seasons, and I think his training philosophy has changed a little bit this summer, like, 'How can we make this situation as good as possible? How about continuing it? ’

According to previous reports from Charania, LeBron’s neurological problem initially occurred during a court training in late July. He has been battling and managing the injury for two and a half months now. James will miss at least 3 to 4 weeks due to right sciatica and will miss the start of the new season.

"That may mean that the process of improving his training intensity and physical condition will be slower, which has always been part of the plan. I don't think having this nerve irritation issue a month ago is going to keep you out of the game for the next three or four weeks. "James said.

Host Zach Lowe asked at this time: "So you don't think he is pretending to be injured to rebel against the team and express dissatisfaction? "

The answer given by Wojko is reassuring. "No, I don't think so. I do think this situation is less than ideal, and while this team wants to be cautious with LeBron, they also want to be able to play together. Doncic has said repeatedly that one of the things he's most looking forward to heading into training camp is accumulating court time with LeBron and Reeves, trying to figure out what was left unanswered when they were hastily thrown together last season, how the three offensive brains can manage to maximize each other's skills. That should happen now. Would having that happen in mid-November change the team's outlook? Maybe a little. "

When talking about the response to James' absence, Redick said that before James recovers, the team may adopt a temporary starting lineup and then re-evaluate after he returns.
