One wave after another, James missed the opening game due to sciatica, and experts said it is difficult to cure

Today, less than two weeks before the new NBA season, the Lakers announced that LeBron James will be sidelined for 3 to 4 weeks due to sciatica on his right side, which means that he is basically determined to miss the opening game. Recently, James has been the focus of the entire Internet. Not long ago, he previewed a mysterious "Decision 2" on social media, which whetted the appetite of fans.

In the "Decision 1" in 2010, he shocked the entire NBA by announcing that he would join the Heat. Everyone speculated that he was going to retire, and some thought he might change teams. When the truth came out, everyone was dumbfounded. The so-called "decision two" was actually just an advertising cooperation with Hennessy. James solemnly announced the "second decision" in the video, but finally told everyone that it was a brand renewal, which instantly aroused public opinion. Many fans felt "played", and some even bought high-priced tickets in advance because they mistakenly thought he was retiring. They were so angry that they wanted to sue him.

In this regard, sports medicine expert Dr. Alan Beyer gave an interpretation. He believes that James' injury is directly related to his frequent golfing during the offseason. Golf is a sport that places great demands on the spine. The golf swing causes severe twisting, and the spine is not designed to adapt to this rotational stress. James has had some discomfort in his lower back since he started playing golf. This sciatica is likely to be the result of accumulated strain.

The 40-year-old James is indeed no longer young. From the previous groin injury to the current neuralgia, his physical condition is deteriorating. Considering James' age and physical condition, the Lakers should be more cautious in evaluating his return time. After all, it’s better to make sure you’re back healthy during the crucial stages than to risk playing with an injury.
