Season over for LeBron James

A week ago, on April 1, LeBron James announced that his season was over and that he would see everyone next fall. At the time, it was an April Fool’s joke while the Lakers were still in the running for the “play-in”. Except that this tweet continues since the Lakers are eliminated from the playoff race, and he has finally played only one game since his ankle turned against the Pelicans on March 27.

This time, no April Fool’s Day and it is the Lakers who announced that he would not play again this season. No need to take the slightest risk for the last two games, and we will see LeBron James only at the beginning of the training camp.

Second best scorer in the NBA at 37 years

This season will nevertheless remain as the most contrasted of his career since he was the best scorer in the NBA at the time of his injury, and he became the second best scorer in history.

At more than 37 years old, his level of play remains amazing. Never before has a player this old been so productive in history. But… while the Lakers were aiming for the title, they are already off, and the “bling bling” recruitment of Russell Westbrook is a resounding failure.

As LeBron James will miss more than 30 games of the regular season (26 games out of 82), his name will disappear from the different rankings, like the one of best scorer where he is currently the runner-up of Joel Embiid (30.4 points per game) with 30.3 points scored per game on average.
