”It never got loose.” On the other hand, I was driving when KD’s knee hit me in an awkward way. The force of that hit my shin and locked up right then. After getting hit in the foot, I just tried to stay calm and make sure everything was okay. I also tried to keep my foot as loose and stretched out as possible so I could play the game well. So pretty sore right now, which makes sense since the adrenaline is lowering. There was some damage to the play, so I iced it and did other things to make it feel better.

The Lakers will definitely keep an eye on this before their next game, even though it doesn’t look like anything important.

LeBron is sure to keep getting treatment for his shin since the team has the day off on Saturday. Then they’ll be back at home to play the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night. Hopefully, James will be able to make enough progress by then to be able to play.

But since it’s still early in the season, he probably won’t push himself if his shin hurts again on Sunday. A lot of important players for the Los Angeles Lakers have been hurt, and LeBron James gave them another scare in the first quarter of Friday night’s In-Season Tournament start against the Phoenix Suns.

As James drove to the basket, he seemed to bump legs with Kevin Durant and limped back to the basket. He made his free throws, but he was then taken out of the game to get treatment on the bench.

He didn’t go back to the changing room, which was a good sign. Soon after getting some massages on his shin, he was ready to play again. He had a great night, scoring 32 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, passing the ball six times, stealing the ball once, and blocking another shot. This was the Lakers’ first road win.

Even though James had a great game, he was still walking funny and didn’t look like he was fully recovered. Through Spectrum SportsNet, he talked about how he was feeling after the game and admitted that he was a little sore because his shin hadn’t been able to move around all night.
