NBA fans are reacting to LeBron James possibly making his season debut in the upcoming matchup against the Jazz. As per recent reports, King James’ sciatica seems to be no longer a threat for his on-court performance and the player even made it to practice.
While James’ fans are definitely glad about their icon’s improvement, there are many Lakers fans who feel that his return will slow things down for an otherwise rocking team. Without James playing right from the beginning of this campaign, the Lakers have managed to be placed fourth in the West, with LA having won two consecutive games as of now.
“Lakers’ LeBron James has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday’s home game against the Utah Jazz, an indication he hopes to make his season debut. James is motivated and eager to return to action, and said at practice Monday that he is monitoring his body around the clock.” Shams Charania said.
“We had a good run Laker fans” one disappointed fan reacted.
“It was actually pretty peaceful without LeBron playing…unfortunately that is about to change.” Another fan said.
“So, basically, Lebron James is ending his holdout because he finally understands the Lakers aren’t going to extend him, it’s Luka’s team now, and they’re done with him after this year. His back looks fine.” One more fan pointed out.
NBA Fans Are Also Excited To Have LeBron James Back
On the other hand, many NBA fans are rejoicing at LeBron James’ possible return. Although the Lakers are doing undoubtedly well at this point in the season, James is still considered the favorite of the team and fans will no doubt throng to watch the legend back in action.
“’Questionable’ LeBron is still like 90% better than most players at full health.” one fan said.
“Finally my King can grace the court and shed his greatness across the hardwood floor once again” another fan commented.
“Watching him monitor his body around the clock is peak LeBron: dedication, strategy, and a little obsession – the mark of a champion.” Still another fan said.
As of now, the Lakers have Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves to bank on, with Bronny James also making a few impressive moves. While James’ return will definitely prove to be great for ticket sales, there are many fans who are skeptical about what the veteran actually brings to the court at this point in his career.
