On October 2, the Lakers training camp continued, James continued to conduct only personal training, Vincent participated in full training, but the Lakers were hit again, and the 33-year-old Claiber strained the quadriceps and will undergo a magnetic examination.

The Lakers officially started training camp yesterday. James did not practice with the team due to hip neurological problems. Doncic and Reeves led the team to prepare for the new season. Today, James' training participation is still limited, and the focus is on some personal training programs. Smart (Achilles tendon) also conducts personal training, and Vincent participates in the complete team training. After the training, Hachimura Akira said when talking about James: Although he has not participated in all joint training, he always observes and guides on the sidelines. He will communicate with us in a timely manner and answer questions for us. This invisible influence is still crucial to the team.

Speaking of the team's training situation, Hachimura said: The actual combat confrontation is very fierce, and all players are striving to compete, which requires us to improve the energy of the game as soon as possible and regain the offensive rhythm.

Speaking of Vanderbilt, Redick said: His body shape and technical movements have made significant progress, which is a world of difference compared to before. He looks like he was before he was injured. Last season, because his body was not in his best form, I had to put him in the fifth position of the small lineup. In the new season, he will regain his athleticism and agility and return to the position of leading and defending the outside.

But the Lakers injured another person. Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin reported that Lakers coach Redick revealed that Kleber strained the quadriceps during training on Wednesday. He did not participate in training today. He will need an MRI examination. Redick hopes his injury is not serious.

Regarding Cleber's injury, medical expert Evan Jeffries said that the most important thing is that he has to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the quadriceps strain and the recovery time, and he will rest for 1-2 weeks with a degree 1 strain and a degree 2 strain for 4-6 weeks.

It is worth mentioning that Kleber said on the Lakers Media Day that he has recovered 100% of his health and has been strengthening his physical strength and physical reserves. He will focus on doing some dirty and tiring tasks and bring his physical confrontation intensity to the court. Unexpectedly, he was injured on the first day of the Lakers training camp, which was so unfortunate.

Before the trading deadline last season, Kleber was sent to the Lakers in a big deal between Doncic and Davis. After joining the Lakers, he missed all regular season due to a fracture of his right foot. He returned to the playoffs for only 5 minutes and scored 2 points.
