Reports say LeBron James could return early and he says no. What ... (AS English)

With James himself denying reports of an early return, the Lakers now face a critical stretch of games without their star and that's not good.

James was later ruled out of the next game and reports suggested he would be out for “an extended period of time.” Prior to his injury the four-time league MVP was averaging 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists during a season in which he became the NBA’s all-time points leader. During the third quarter with 3:17 on the clock, James drove to the basket and unfortunately ended up falling. It’s worth noting that the Lakers’ final three games are all at home, which in itself could be a good target for both he and the team, if they can make it there with playoff hopes still intact. When you consider that the Lakers have gone 12-14 while averaging 5.4 points less without James in the team, things begin to look bleak. On the one hand, they’re on the verge of securing a spot in the play-in tournament as they sit on a 36-37 record. Yet, with the Lakers having not given any official timeline for a return and James himself denying that such reports were true, it now seems that he won’t be suiting up to play following the foot injury that he suffered back on February 26th.
