    Best case is 2-3. Revenge win against OKC and we can possibly beat Minny.

    We knew he's going to miss games. Rather it be now than later. This is why Russ is here. Still sucks though.

    At least this is encouraging...

    Bron needs to stop with all those excessive dunk shows he puts on in practice.

    I guess this is the reason why we traded for Westbrook. Hopefully it's the minimum 1 week.

    The mileage on his body is unbelievable. While this is probably nothing truly bad, it's better to be as safe as possible. If he wants to win more, and have a chance to go for that scoring record eventually, he needs to be super cautious. If there's a reason we got Westbrook, it is this.

    Also, Bron, if you're reading this ;) - no need to go for those reverse dunks anymore. A layup is perfectly fine.

    He misses those, lately more Fisher-esque.

    father time catches up to everyone eventually. lebron's been unbelievably good at avoiding it, but seems like all that mileage has finally caught up to him the last few years

    I think this could be a season long problem.

    This type of injury is not one of those that linger. Groin and lower body injuries are much worse. They are doing this for precaution, but he'll be fine. Well... except if he tweaks something else.

    That's what I'm afraid of; the groin and the ankle took the whole summer to heal. Now it's something else? And given the force he plays with on the floor, it's quite possible he could tweak something else.

    Given the fact that Bron plays 36-37 minutes a night, I'm happy he gets these nagging injuries that keep him off the floor a bit.

    We will need his legs later in the season. So his average playing time comes down significantly based on 82 games.

    Rectus abdominis, in layman’s term, old as f***

    The beginning of the end for him . Can't stay healthy anymore .

    Thanks for the title but his tenure as a Laker will be qualified as "average" by our standards .

    Wish we could have ended up with more titles than the C Bags with him ...
