LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers` prominent player, is expected to miss the initial part of the team`s season. The 40-year-old superstar has been diagnosed with sciatica affecting his right side and is projected to be out for an additional three to four weeks. This announcement came on Thursday, confirming his absence from training camp where he has not yet participated.
Coach JJ Redick previously noted that James was dealing with nerve irritation in his glute, which led to him missing the Lakers` first two preseason games and full team practices.
Sciatica, as explained by ESPN injury analyst Stephania Bell, involves discomfort stemming from irritation, inflammation, or compression of the sciatic nerve. This significant nerve extends from the lower back through the glutes and hamstrings, then branches into smaller nerves in the lower leg and foot. Patients can experience symptoms ranging from acute or burning pain to numbness, tingling, or a «pins and needles» sensation. The duration of recovery varies considerably based on the underlying cause.
Before the Lakers disclosed the sciatica diagnosis, Coach Redick stated that James was following «his own timeline» regarding his injury recovery. If James remains sidelined for the anticipated three to four weeks, he will not be available for the Lakers` season opener against the Golden State Warriors on October 21.
Reports earlier this week from ESPN`s Shams Charania suggested James would likely sit out the preseason but aimed to return for the regular season`s first game.
This upcoming season marks James` record-breaking 23rd in the NBA, surpassing Vince Carter for the longest playing career in league history.
Since LeBron James joined the Lakers in the 2018-19 season, the team has achieved a winning record of 248-171 (.591) when he plays. In contrast, without him on the court, their record stands at 56-78 (.418).
LeBron James Siyatik Sababli Safdan Chiqdi, Leykers Mavsum Boshini O`tkazib Yuboradi
Los-Anjeles Leykersning taniqli basketbolchisi Lebron Jeyms jamoaning mavsum boshlanishini o`tkazib yuborishi kutilmoqda. 40 yoshli superyulduzga o`ng tomonida siyatik asab yallig`lanishi (ishias) tashxisi qo`yilgan bo`lib, u qo`shimcha uch-to`rt hafta davomida safdan chiqishi prognoz qilinmoqda. Bu e`lon payshanba kuni bo`lib, uning mashg`ulot yig`inlarida ishtirok etmaganligini tasdiqladi.
Bosh murabbiy JJ Redik avvalroq Jeymsning dumba sohasida asab tirnash xususiyati bilan kurashayotganini ta`kidlagan edi, bu uning Leykersning dastlabki ikkita mavsumoldi o`yinini va to`liq jamoaviy mashg`ulotlarni o`tkazib yuborishiga sabab bo`lgan.
ESPN jarohat tahlilchisi Stefaniya Bell tushuntirishicha, ishias siyatik asabning tirnash xususiyati, yallig`lanishi yoki siqilishi natijasida kelib chiqadigan noqulaylikni bildiradi. Bu muhim asab pastki beldan dumba va son mushaklari orqali o`tib, so`ngra pastki oyoq va oyoqdagi mayda asablarga bo`linadi. Bemorlar o`tkir yoki kuyish og`rig`idan tortib, uyquchanlik, sanchiq yoki «ignalar sanchish» hissi kabi simptomlarni boshdan kechirishi mumkin. Tiklanish muddati asosiy sababga qarab sezilarli darajada farq qiladi.
Leykers ishias tashxisini oshkor qilishidan oldin, murabbiy Redik Jeymsning jarohatdan tiklanish bo`yicha «o`z vaqt jadvali» bo`yicha harakat qilayotganini aytgan edi. Agar Jeyms taxmin qilingan uch-to`rt hafta davomida safda qolsa, u 21-oktabrda Golden Steyt Uorriorsga qarshi Leykersning mavsum ochilish o`yinida ishtirok eta olmaydi.
Bu haftaning boshida ESPN muxbiri Shams Charanianing xabar berishicha, Jeyms mavsumoldi o`yinlarini o`tkazib yuborishi mumkin, ammo muntazam mavsumning birinchi o`yiniga qaytishni maqsad qilgan.
Ushbu kelgusi mavsum Jeymsning NBA dagi rekord darajadagi 23-mavsumini belgilaydi, bu bilan u liga tarixidagi eng uzoq faoliyatini Vins Karterdan o`zib ketadi.
Lebron Jeyms 2018-19 yilgi mavsumda Leykersga qo`shilganidan buyon, u maydonda bo`lganida jamoa 248-171 (.591) g`alaba ko`rsatkichiga erishgan. Aksincha, u maydonda bo`lmaganda, ularning ko`rsatkichlari 56-78 (.418) ni tashkil etadi.
