LeBron James has suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee following a collision with Donte DiVincenzo in Game 5, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported Thursday. The injury comes with a projected recovery timeline of 3 to 5 weeks.
Had the Lakers extended the series to a Game 6 in Minnesota, James would not have played — ending his record streak of 292 consecutive playoff games played.
The injury casts further uncertainty over James’ immediate future, as the 40-year-old had already postponed a decision on whether he’ll return for a 23rd NBA season.
