LeBron James has been out for over a week now. And I’m beginning to think that Miami actually used LeBron’s prime up.
But to further help his rehab and long-term health. LeBron James has taken a trip to Miami (of all places) to help with his rehabilitation. As to why? Well who has the answers to all questions LeBron James related? ESPN’s Brian Windhorst of course.
LeBron James’ rehab process to deal with back and knee strains has focused on getting him into the best places to heal. That included a stay in his old home in Miami to take advantage of warmer weather this week, sources told ESPN.com.
Cleveland Cavaliers doctors advised James not to attend games over the past week because “continuous sitting” on the bench would be bad for his back. For this reason, James was excused from team activities and did not attend road trips in Charlotte and Philadelphia and a home game against the Dallas Mavericks.
“It helps that we’re going to some warmer cities, so my body could use that as well,” James said Wednesday upon returning to the team after being away. “It’s difficult for sure, not being with the guys, and me being a team guy, and a camaraderie guy, it was difficult for sure.“
He goes on to say that the rehab is going well. He was scheduled to be out 2 weeks and it has already been a week. So it shouldn’t be too long before he returns from his ailments.
There has been a lot of talk about the mileage LeBron has had over the years. And it’s a genuine thing to talk about. Think of him as an NFL running back. LeBron has clocked stupid minutes taking a lot of punishment. Same with Dwyane Wade. But because LeBron is younger and their style of play is different. It’s tough to compare.
