James to Miss Beginning of NBA Campaign due to Sciatic Nerve Pain.
LeBron James started his career with the Cavaliers in two thousand and three.
LeBron James has been ruled out for up to four weeks and is confirmed to miss the beginning of the league campaign due to sciatic issues, LA Lakers have confirmed.
James, 40, agreed to a new agreement with the LA team in June of this year and is set to become the initial competitor to participate across 23 individual campaigns.
Sciatica refers to discomfort in the sciatic nerve that travels down the lower back and down the leg.
James did not participate in exhibition games and missed the losses against the Golden State and the Suns this month because of the glute nerve irritation.
The American will likely miss for every one of the five of the team's games in October, featuring the opening match against Golden State Warriors.
James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, has never previously missed the beginning of the season in his two-decade-plus career.
His count of one thousand five hundred sixty-two regular-season appearances is only 50 away than overtaking former Celtics star Parish's all-time record.
The four-time NBA champion appeared in 70 out of the Lakers' 82 games last season and was active for 71 occasions in the prior season.
The previous season, LeBron James averaged 24.4 points per game, 8.2 assists per game and 7.8 rebounds per game per game and placed sixth in the Most Valuable Player vote.
LA reached the postseason in 2024-25 but lost in five games against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the initial stage.
