LeBron James has come out and revealed that he has been bedridden for the last three days before he lined up for the Los Angeles Lakers against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the New Orleans Pelicans in overtime in what was a very closely contested affair until the final buzzer. While the Lakers got off to a better start, the Pelicans came into the game with time and looked like winning the clash until the very final seconds – when the Lakers pulled out a moment of individual brilliance to level the scores.
With only seconds left on the clock, the Lakers were trailing the Pelicans by three points and needed somebody to come up with the brilliance that they needed to stay in the game. And when the hour came, so did the man – as Matt Ryan came up with one of the best three-pointers one can ever see in crunch time, as he found the bucket from range right at the stroke of the buzzer.
With the game into overtime, the Lakers dug in deep to win the game in overtime. Even though it was a great collective effort to win the game, the Lakers’ talisman LeBron James did not have a great game by his standards. LeBron failed to make any of his attempted three-pointers in an underwhelming performance, although he later revealed that he has been sick for a while now.
What did LeBron James reveal about his sickness after the game?
Following the win, LeBron revealed that he has been suffering from illness for a while now.
Speaking to the press after the win, LeBron revealed that he was bedridden for three days before turning up for the Lakers’ game. The four time champion said: “I’ve been better. Today was the first day I got out of bed since Sunday night after the game. I missed the Halloween party without my guys on Monday. As soon as I leave here, I’m going back to bed for sure.”
The Lakers will certainly hope that their talisman gets back to full fitness, as they look to string together a few wins to get their season back on track.
