The injury keeping LeBron James out of LA Lakers’ training camp

LeBron James missed the Los Angeles Lakers’ first training camp practice due to a glute nerve irritation.

Coach JJ Redick confirmed the team is adopting a “long game” approach to manage James’s workload throughout the season.

The strategy aims to maintain the 40-year-old superstar’s health, ensuring he is prepared for the playoffs.

James is set to make NBA history by becoming the first player to complete 23 seasons when the Lakers begin their regular season on 21 October.

Several other Lakers players, including Gabe Vincent, Marcus Smart, and rookie Adou Thiero, also had limited participation in the first practice due to various injuries.
