Recovering from the efforts at 40 years old is not easy, not even for a true physical privileged like Lebron James. The star of Los Angeles Lakers is ready to return to competition and could do so this very early morning against Utah Jazz. However, he will need to be cautious and progress gradually to avoid the problems that concern him.

We are about to witness a historic event, but it is necessary to exercise restraint when judging his level in the first weeks of the competition. Lebron James is set to become the first player in NBA history to compete in 23 consecutive seasons. Already recovered from his sciatica injury, the King could step onto the court this very early morning against Utah Jazz. Aware of the challenge of competing at 40, the GOAT candidate conveyed certain concerns and apprehensions to the media regarding his return to the league.

"I am clear on how I can help the team, but I must find a way to fit in naturally without disturbing others. I have taken a long time to feel ready to return to the court, and now I just need to see how my body responds in the next few hours," said a man who trained with the Lakers' G-League affiliate, engaging in 5-on-5 practices to test his physical condition after so much time off.

In that regard, caution will be necessary with a Lebron James who has significantly slimmed down to prevent muscular injuries and improve agility. "Right now, I have the lung capacity of a newborn baby. I need to work to achieve that of an adult. I lost my voice after a day on the court shouting plays and assignments... I need to drink tea and rest a lot," affirmed the star of Los Angeles Lakers, whose return is generating enormous media buzz.
