LBJ injury
It was a scary sight a couple weeks when LeBron James went down in the second quarter of their home game against the Atlanta Hawks. Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in basketball. Once you get out of the amateur level of basketball, most programs have people to tape their ankles before every practice and game. This does not prevent any injuries in the area, it can only stop the injury from being as bad due to the restricting of movement. So what does this injury mean for Lebron? Well he is expected miss the next 2-3 weeks of games. But more importantly, it effects his MVP race. When you are not on the court, players surpass you because you can't produce anything at the moment. Now Lebron will have to play exceptionally well when he comes back in order to regain the favorite for this years MVP. Do you guys think Lebron will make one case push for the trophy when he comes back?
Definitely sucks that this injury took the best player in the game away for a few weeks. I think if Lebron has proven anything over his career its that he is the type of player that can come back and make the push necessary to win the MVP. It's going to be interesting to see if he can do it!
