LeBron James will miss the start of the new NBA season

LeBron James will miss the start of the new NBA season

Los Angeles Lakers defender Danny Greene said the LeBron James forward could miss the start month of the new season if the championship kicks off on December 22.

“If we are told that we are starting a new season in December, I think that most of the guys will say, 'Without me.' I'm not sure if LeBron will play in the first month of the season, ”Green was quoted as saying by metaratings.by, citing The Ringer NBA Show.

Earlier it was reported that the NBA plans to start the championship on December 22. But due to the late start, the season will turn out to be somewhat tight: instead of the traditional 82 matches, the teams will play 72 games in the regular season.

It is worth noting that James is a four-time NBA champion (twice with Miami, once with Cleveland and the Lakers), and the forward was named the most valuable player in the final series for the fourth time. Last NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers won the title, beating the Miami Heat in the final, and James became the most valuable player in the series.
