Los Angeles Lakers: 3 reasons why it’s time to rethink LA’s title chances

LeBron James has already suffered two injuries (which caused him to miss games) this season

We’re only three weeks into the new season and LeBron James has already missed nearly half the games played thus far due to two injuries, and the latest one could force him to be out of action for multiple weeks.

Earlier this season, LeBron missed two games due to an ankle injury. He’s now nursing an abdominal strain that is expected to keep him out longer – he’s already missed the team’s last three games.

And perhaps this is how Father Time is going to look for LeBron moving forward. Maybe LeBron isn’t going to fall off a cliff statistically or isn’t going to look like he’s lost his speed or power initially; it may just look like injury at first.

LeBron is going to have strong stretches this season, but I’m afraid the injuries may end up telling his story this season.
