JJ Redick Emphasizes The Importance of A 4-Day Break For LeBron James’ Recovery

After competing tirelessly since the start of the 2024-25 NBA season, LeBron James ultimately took a much-needed day off—not because of his age but rather due to discomfort in his left foot. Nevertheless, the Lakers demonstrated remarkable prowess on the court and achieved a solid victory against the Blazers. Anthony Davis praised his teammates for their resilience and performance during James’s absence, highlighting the collective effort required to secure the win.

The Lakers will play against the Minnesota Timberwolves in just four days. In the post-game press conference, JJ Redick highlighted that this extended break could considerably aid in James’ recovery process.

“Yeah, I mean, you don’t want him out of the lineup, that’s for sure. But it is an opportunity to get four days rest before we practice again. So it could be really good for him.” Redick said (Via Lakers Nation)

The Lakers currently hold the 8th position in the Western Conference standings, boasting a record of 13 victories and 11 defeats
