LeBron suffers an injury to the defeat of the Laker's season against Timberwolves

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James suffered a serious physical setback in the excretion of his team against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

An MRI that was carried out on Thursday revealed a sprain of the medial collateral band (MCL) in his left knee – a diagnosis that was able to undress for three to five weeks.

The injury occurred in the last minutes of game 5, played on Wednesday evening and found another challenging season for the Lakers.

How LeBron James was injured

The incident occurred in the game with 8:39 when Timberwolves Guard Donte Divincenzo was called up after an offensive foul after bringing James on the left knee while he set a moving screen during a pass to Julius Randle.

James fell to the ground with visible pain and had to leave the game temporarily to evaluate Mike Mancias from his long -time physiotherapist.

Despite the discomfort, the 40-year-old veteran returned to the pitch with 7:23 and ended the game, which with a defeat of 103 to 96 for the Lakers ended to the first round in the first round.

A historical strip ends for LeBron James

The injury is a remarkable moment in the career of the leading goal scorers of the NBA.

James had previously played in 292 post -season without missing one due to an injury.

Had the Lakers forced a game 6 in Minneapolis this Friday, it would be very unlikely that James could continue these remarkable series.

Since the Lakers now go out of the playoff dispute and a recovery phase, James expects James to be used for the low season to fully rehabilitate.

His injury will take place in a crucial point in time, which will go into growing speculation about his future in the league and in the management of the Lakers organization in the next season on the way to the next season.
