Expert: The Lakers said from the beginning that James’ recovery period would be 3-4 weeks, which means the injury is not serious.

October 10th Today, the Lakers officially announced that forward James will be reviewed in about 3 to 4 weeks due to right sciatica.

CBS Sports immediately invited former Knicks team doctor and sports medicine expert Marty Jaramillo to analyze James' injury.

When asked whether James's injury is at risk of relapsing during the season, the expert said: "We actually use LeBron James' recovery skills as a benchmark for future NBA players. He has done a really good job in post-game recovery and offseason recovery, so he can stay healthy for such a long time and play in the NBA for so long.

"But 40 is 40, so of course he is at risk for high-impact injuries, including lower back injuries and inflammation of all joints. I like that they only said a 3-4 week recovery period at the beginning, and based on that timetable, I know this injury is not serious. It's likely that he has experienced this problem before, and that he and his medical team know how to better recover from severe muscle spasms. Therefore, I don't expect that he will be out for more than 3-4 weeks, but as you said, this recovery effect will be intermittent, especially on that kind of long-term away trip, recovery methods are more critical. But he didn't need to be taught, it was already in his DNA. "
