Given the fact that LeBron James has had some injury issues over the past few years as he gets older, some fans might want to worry about this.
I really wouldn’t. He’s expected to miss at least a week. This isn’t the kind of injury that keeps you sidelined for months on end.

It’s an abdominal strain. It’s not a broken bone or a torn ACL. It’s something you should be able to bounce back from rather quickly if you handle it correctly.
With the Lakers currently being 5-4, there’s literally no reason to panic at all. They might lose without LeBron, but he’s not going to miss enough time where it should have a serious impact.

So, if you’re a fan of the Lakers, you can relax because everything is going to be just fine.
