“Playoffs, for sure”: Lakers fans rejoice as LeBron James hints at possible playoff return from injury

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar Lebron James played his last game on February 26 against the Dallas Mavericks prior to suffering a lengthy tendon injury, but it seems the wait is going to be over.

Lebron had been suffering from ankle soreness for quite a long time, as he had to carry the full weight of the team in a perilous moment for the Lakers. Finally, he caught up with the fitness issue and has missed 11 games so far while on the mend.

However, recent developments suggest that the Lakers star is looking forward to returning to the court in no time.

When can LeBron James be back on the court?

In the pregame press conference on Sunday, Lakers coach Darvin Ham assured the fans, “We anticipate him coming back at some point this season,” but there was no possible timeline he could provide at that moment.

Later during the game against the Orlando Magic at Crypto.com Arena, the 38-year-old was seen assuring a staff of his comeback by saying, “Playoffs, for sure.” ESPN’s analyst Dave McMenamin overheard the conversation and revealed information.

Moreover, the four-time NBA champion’s reevaluation date is just around the corner, as he already spent three weeks in recovery. We will know for sure the condition of his ankle and a possible return date after the reevaluation.

Previously, King James’ German teammate Dennis Schroder also hinted at the Lakers forward’s visit to Germany for a further checkup. With all these speculations, it appears that James is finally on the bright side of the injury.

The Lakers are in a delicate situation in the ending phase of the regular season; they are the 11th seed in the Western Conference with only 10 games at hand. The 19-time all-star is eagerly waiting to join the team in the playoffs, and he had every right to expect it from his teammate.
