LeBron James, one of the most popular and talented players in the NBA, recently lost the match to the Boston Celtics and also sustained a groin injury during the match. It seems like LeBron James will not be available for the next few matches, even though he has not issued a statement yet specifying the date of his return. However, his groin injury has sparked a bizarre speculation among fans.

LeBron James’ Injuries Sparks Confusion Among Fans As He Is “Always” Injured In The Month Of March



Apparently, fans believe that LeBron James have always missed NBA matches during the month of March. Coincidentally, in March 2023, the star NBA player had an injury in his right foot. Both in March 2021 and 2022, he had sustained ankle injuries which made him unavailable for a few matches for his team.

A fan took to X and wrote, “LeBron James, the king of strategic breaks? 👑👀 Honestly, if he’s faking it to get playoff-ready, I’m not mad at that! You know he’s coming back with superhuman energy. 🏀🔥”
Another fan wrote, “Lebron fans would tell you this is normal since the playoffs starts in April 💀💀💀 “. A third fan joked, “He’s letting the others get there confidence up for playoff time.”
Another user wrote, “Very odd he gets hurt the same time every year.🤔 “

LeBron James has not yet addressed the speculations around his injuries but fans are a bit confused with the way he has been getting injured every year in March.
Recently, at the match against the Boston Celtics, LeBron James found himself in the middle of a controversy as fans accused him of “flopping”.
A video from the match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics went viral, where Jayson Tatum was seen lightly brushing against LeBron James. However, LeBron reacted pretty strongly to it as he tilted his head back aggressively and kept rubbing his chin, only to fall to the ground.
Seconds later, LeBron James stood up and continued with the game. But as luck would have it, the NBA star sustained a groin injury and could not complete the match.
LeBron James was brutally trolled for this reaction of his. A statement from him is awaited where he addresses this incident.
