After suffering a severe ankle injury that dampened the Los Angeles Lakers’ chances of winning another NBA title, LeBron James went on social media to criticize the NBA for starting the season too early.
Now, a league official has responded to James’ harsh words.
After the 2019-20 season was suspended for about four months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was some debate about when the 2020-21 campaign would start.
It ultimately tipped off just before Christmas, giving teams that went deep in the 2020 NBA Playoffs very little rest during the offseason.
In addition to James, other stars such as Anthony Davis, Jamal Murray, James Harden, Donovan Mitchell and Jaylen Brown have all missed significant time due to injuries.
Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is out indefinitely due to a knee injury at a very inopportune time.
Luckily for James, he will have about four full months to rest, recover and train before next season begins.
The four-time MVP has promised to come back as strong as ever for the 2021-22 season and look to bring the Lakers their 18th world championship.
