Lakers Say LeBron James Has Right Foot Tendon Injury

The Lakers announced Thursday that LeBron James has been diagnosed with a right foot tendon injury and will be re-evaluated in three weeks after being examined by the team’s medical staff. 

With this timeline, the earliest James would be able to return is March 24 against the Thunder. Only nine games would remain in the season. 

James suffered the injury against the Mavericks on Sunday but played through it in the 111–108 comeback win. Just hours before Los Angeles made the latest announcement, Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported that James will not need surgery.
