LOS ANGELES — On Monday night, the Lakers listed LeBron James as “out” vs. the Knicks on their official injury report, and they weren’t lying.
ESPN reported James would still likely face the Knicks on Tuesday. But a new ESPN report has backtracked, stating James will save himself for the woeful Rockets Wednesday instead of the physical Knicks.
That means James will not have faced the Knicks the entire season, missing the April clash with the same ankle sprain. The Knicks’ defense is considered the most physical in the league and perhaps James would like an easier opponent despite the game being on TNT.
James would have seen a lot of Knicks defensive specialist Reggie Bullock, a former Laker. The Knicks could clinch their first playoff berth since 2013 with a victory and a Boston loss.

Break a leg LeClown.
Trump curse.
Wussy.

Wimp. He’s got a big mouth but can’t play from an “ankle strain.” What the hell is an “ankle strain?” What are you hiding under that white sleeve LeFake? Ashamed of something?
Good, the Knicks need this game tonight.
Ankle strain from jamming it in his gob, that gobshite...

Hopefully his ankle sprain turns into broken legs and he never plays again. Better yet, blunt trauma to the head, placing him into a coma would be best. I don’t care enough about him to wish him death.
Jordan never backed down from the knicks or the pistons. LeBrown sucks.
And the beatings Jordan took from those 2 teams would make Lebron’s pale in comparison.
LeFlop is a coward. Meet with Deon Joseph, you wuss.
Woke politics, boring play, and players don’t want to play...and they blame cord-cutting for their crappy ratings.
Face it LeBron, you will never be considered as good as Michael Jordan.
No conservative here at FR gives two hoots about this idiot or any game he plays in. Why even post it?
It’s not just about a game. He ise of the Marxist leaders destroying this country. Wake up.
Your entire post was about the game. Not a word about politics or Marxism. And it was about some nonsense about James not playing some game or the other because he was “injured”. How relevant is that here?
