The Los Angeles Lakers season ended on Wednesday evening, when the Minnesotsky Timberwals ended their series in the first round with a victory of 5 in Los Angeles, it was a disappointing end for a team that finished 50-32 with seeds No. 3 at a hard Western conference. But after the franchise exchanged for Luke Donchich, you can see the brightest days that were in February, which was much more about the long -term future, and not about what happened this season.
But how this season was played out, still bites, given how Lakers look good for several months after trading on Donchich. It looked like a team that could give the best sown thunder Oklahom-City to run for his money in the West, but instead flashed much earlier than many predicted. But if Lakers extended their series, having won on Wednesday evening, they probably did not have Lebron James.
On Friday, ESPN said that James received MCL 2 -class stretching in the midst of the game 5, an injury that was detected from MRI on Thursday. The recovery time for injury, as a rule, is 3-5 weeks, that is, James probably would not play in the game 6-or in the second round if Lakers advanced.
The injury occurred in the fourth quarter, when James collided with the guard Timberwolves Donte Divincenzo, who was called to the offensive folu, who sent him to the ground, crumbling in pain. The four -time champion was on the ground for some time and immediately left the game, where he could be seen, limping in the side line.
The absence of James in the game did not last long, and he never returned to the locker room and instead stood near the bench, shaking his left leg. He returned to the game, and you could say that he was not 100%. He still managed to play the rest of the game, but Makmenamin reports that, in all likelihood, James would miss the game 6 defeated Lakers on Wednesday.
Now that the Los Angeles season is over, James can simply focus on restoring and preparing for the search for what will be a record 23rd season of the NBA.
