Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James suffered a hard hit from Kevin Durant during the first quarter against the Suns, leaving the court for a while
Star of Los Angeles Lakers and multi-champion of NBA, LeBron Jameswas one of the main responsible for the victory over Phoenix Suns by 122 to 119 last Friday, the 10th. However, the player left the fans quite worried for a few moments, after sitting in the first quarter of the match to have his shin area treated, after taking a hard blow from Kevin Durant.
LeBron only missed the end of the first quarter and returned at the beginning of the second, playing for 36 total minutes, scoring 32 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. In the end, the winger revealed that his shin was “quite sore” after the adrenaline from the game had subsided. With the victory, the first away from home, the Lakers ended their streak of three straight defeats and continue to count on great performances from the four-time NBA champion, who averages 25.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5. 4 assists.
Angelina franchise coach, Darvin Ham, revealed after the first game of the season, in which LeBron only played 29 minutes, that the ‘King’ would have a minutes restriction, which ended up being left aside in the following games. After that, the Los Angeles Lakers took the court this Sunday, the 12th, against the Portland Trail Blazers and won 116 to 110, even without the presence of their great star.
