LeBron James Has Regained Athleticism
9 months agoLos Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham believes guard/forward LeBron James (foot) has regained his athleticism and burst after recovering from his foot injury. "Without question", Ham stated. It's a promising update on the future Hall of Famer, who was bothered by a tendon injury in his right foot late during the 2022-23 season. James remarkably still boasts top-10 per-game upside on his 38-year-old body, but the risk of load management pushes his fantasy stock down to third-round territory, having not topped 56 games played in any of the past three years. The Lakers are likely to manage the four-time MVP's workload if they want to make a deep postseason run, so James could run into random rest days that frustrate his head-to-head appeal. Still, you're unlikely to see his name fall past the third round in most competitive drafts this fall.
