LeBron Sparks Injury Worry Despite Big Lakers Win
It was a night full of action at Crypto.com Arena as the Los Angeles Lakers crushed the Houston Rockets 140-109 to seal their place as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. But what really caught fans’ attention wasn’t just the slam dunks or big plays — it was a quiet moment on the bench from LeBron James.
During the game, LeBron was seen adjusting his seat and moving his legs as if testing how his body felt. His serious expression had fans wondering if his past groin injury was troubling him again. It sparked concern on social media, especially with the playoffs just around the corner.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick, however, calmed fears after the match. He told reporters that LeBron was “fine” and that taking him off after 22 minutes was just a safety measure. LeBron didn’t seem too bothered — he was later spotted moonwalking on the sideline after a big play by Austin Reaves.
On the court, the Lakers were unstoppable. Luka Doncic led with 39 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Austin Reaves added 23 points. The team shot an impressive 60.9% from the field and earned their 50th win of the season — a strong signal they’re ready for the playoffs.
Off the court, LeBron’s wife Savannah James also grabbed attention. As she walked to her courtside seat, she paused and gracefully redid her entrance when a cameraman asked for another shot. Her calm and stylish appearance quickly went viral. After the game, Savannah was seen waiting for LeBron in the tunnel, and their loving hug and kiss became one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
Though fans worried briefly about LeBron’s health, his leadership and the team’s great form were clear to see. With key players like Luka and Reaves stepping up, and LeBron’s drive still strong, the Lakers look focused and ready for a serious playoff push — groin willing.
