LeBron James, on his knee injury: "It's the first one I have in my career"

The Los Angeles Lakers season came to an end in the 2025 NBA Playoffs first round. The team of LeBron James and Luka Doncic was defeated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games (4-1).

Opportunities for LeBron are running out. 'The King' knows that winning the fifth ring will be very difficult, especially now that he is dealing with the first knee injury of his career. At least that's what he has confirmed.

"This is my first knee injury in my 22-year NBA career. I had never had a knee injury like this before. I knew as soon as I collided with DiVincenzo that something bad happened. My knee locked up, that's why I stayed on the floor for a minute to see if it would loosen a bit," LeBron James began pointing out.

"But I knew at that moment it was a pain I had not felt before. And I think, obviously, when I was running back to close and he crashed into me, my knee bent inwards. The doctors told me 4 to 6 weeks. Now I have that time to recover. That's the benefit of being eliminated early," he concluded.
