It’s no secret that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is in his 22nd season and on the verge of turning 40 years old later this month.
What James is still able to do at his age is incredible, but there’s no denying that he can benefit from getting some rest.
LeBron played in each of the Lakers’ first 23 games before missing his first one last Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers due to foot soreness.
Because of the Emirates NBA Cup, the Lakers have had a little break in their schedule as they don’t return to the court until Friday night when they travel to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
