After the first significant injury of his career during the 2018-19 NBA season, LeBron James has bounced back in his 17th season as he is set to turn 35-years-old soon.
As James has appeared in all 29 games, he is averaging 25.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 10.6 assists while leading the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference so far.
However, after the team’s road trip, James is considered doubtful against the Denver Nuggets now with a thoracic muscle strain, which happened against the Indiana Pacers.
While James did not require an MRI, it is viewed as a ‘significant issue,’ according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN:
James first sustained the injury, a pull in the rib cage area, against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday and played through it during Thursday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
