Lakers star LeBron James was bothered by a high right ankle sprain for most of last season. He's fully recovered and ready for the season opener Tuesday.
James missed 26 games because of the high ankle sprain, and when he played in the first round of the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns, he was not the same.
“Always doing other stuff, training, pushing, seeing if I could do other stuff with my ankle, and until I got to a point where I didn’t feel any sharp pains anymore, and my flexibility was back to where it was before. That’s when I knew I could get back on the floor.”Russell Westbrook and LeBron James are used to running things how they see fit on the court, but they’re sharing those responsibilities on the Lakers.
“We will be intelligent,” Vogel said. “He’s someone that if he feels well, [he] wants to be in there. … Probably don’t want to have him play 82 games. But we’re not going to pre-script X amount of nights off. We’re going to take it as it comes throughout the year.”“We still want to be around the 34 range, as a script 34 to 36, and obviously hope for a situation where the group out on the floor is playing where you can leave him over there [on the bench] a little longer,” Vogel said.
