When LeBron James returned from his foot injury — described as a “torn foot tendon” — and took the advice of the “LeBron James of feet” rather than two other medical providers who recommended he have surgery, the Lakers star stated that the injury would be reevaluated after the season to determine if surgery was required.

In the following video, I explained what the medical team will be looking for on that MRI, what the key criteria in their medical decision-making will likely be, and the potential next steps for LeBron.
