NBA Another hot flash for LeBron James: enter the coronavirus protocol
The NBA announced this Thursday that LeBron James has exited the coronavirus protocol after confirming that it was a
false positive.
The Lakers star entered the NBA's coronavirus protocol on Tuesday and was low in the duel that day in which the purple and gold defeated the Sacramento Kings (92-117).
The most likely then was that James would miss several games until he met the requirements to return to the court, but
the NBA today authorized his immediate return
to the competition after certifying that his positive for coronavirus was not such.
The NBA explained in a statement that the player has tested
negative in two tests
carried out 24 hours apart.
"James was initially placed on the protocol after a series of tests that yielded
conflicting results,
including an initial positive test that was collected on November 29. Additional tests confirmed that he has not tested positive," the league detailed.
The ESPN network went beyond the official explanations of the NBA and assured that James has tested
negative in eight
different coronavirus
tests
since he returned to Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon.
James, who will turn
37 on December 30,
confirmed in late September that he had been vaccinated against the coronavirus.
This is great news for the Lakers, who will thus have their top figure to face their neighbors and rivals the
Los Angeles Clippers
on Friday
.
This brief step by LeBron through the coronavirus protocol is one more stage of the
turbulent start of the season
that "King James" is having.
On the sidelines of the game he did not play on Tuesday,
James has missed ten more games
due to various physical problems and was suspended for an off-court game after being sent off for hitting the Detroit Pistons' Isaiah Stewart in the face.
In the eleven games he has played so far, he has achieved 25.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists on average per game.
The Lakers
have not started the course on the right foot
and right now they are sixth in the Western Conference (12-11).
The Angelina franchise bet for the 2021-2022 season on a risky and very veteran project that has united LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony in the same squad.
