LeBron James Will Miss Beginning of National Basketball Association Season with Sciatic Nerve Pain.
The veteran player commenced his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003.
The Lakers superstar will be absent for approximately a month and is set to miss the start of the league campaign due to sciatic issues, LA Lakers announced.
James, 40, agreed to a new agreement with the Lakers in the month of June and is set to become the initial competitor to participate across 23 separate NBA seasons.
Sciatica refers to discomfort in the sciatic region that extends through the back and through the leg.
The athlete did not participate in exhibition games and was out for the defeats against the Golden State and the Phoenix Suns earlier this month because of the nerve issue.
The veteran will likely miss for all five of the Lakers' games in October, including the opening match against Golden State Warriors.
The star, the highest points scorer in history, has always been present for the opening of the season in his 22-year career.
The number of one thousand five hundred sixty-two matches participated in is merely 50 less than overtaking former Boston star Robert Parish's NBA record.
The champion featured in 70 of the Lakers' 82 games last term and was active for 71 occasions in the previous year.
In the most recent campaign, LeBron James posted over 24 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game and came in sixth in the Most Valuable Player vote.
LA reached the play-offs in the 2024-25 season but lost in five games against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the initial stage.
