James misses his first training session! Madame: His preseason and training will be subject to more restrictions

October 1, According to the latest report by well-known sports journalist Dave McMenamin, LeBron James will train in accordance with a strict workload plan as he ushers in his 23rd NBA season, and the team has adopted an "overly cautious" approach during training camp.

Dave McMenamin mentioned that James is expected to be restricted in training and preseason, and the Lakers' goal is to stay healthy for him in order to prepare for a long playoff journey.

He also mentioned on the NBA Today program that James admitted that his current physical condition has not reached his ideal level, but emphasized that there is still time to adjust and improve before the start of the season.

"LeBron told me that his form at this stage of the preseason is not what he wants to be," Dave McMenamin said. "But he said he still has time to get to that state, and both the Lakers and LeBron are paying close attention to his physical condition. We discussed his recovery plan yesterday on Media Day."

Lakers head coach J.J. Redick talked about his form after James missed training on Tuesday local time, saying that the team has made more cautious arrangements for him during the training session this season than last year.

"I think he might have had a little longer transition to start night," Redick said. "Obviously, this is his 23rd season, and he's in an unprecedented phase. So, the conclusion I came to in the communication with him and the performance team was that he might have overdone last year's training camp - it was a great opportunity for me, the new head coach, and I got support from him. But this year, we'll be doing it at a slower pace, after all, his body has been worn and worn for 22 years. Also, he's now having some nerve stimulation in his hips, and we're just taking a long-term perspective."

Redick added that James was dealing with nerve stimulation in his hips, so he missed Tuesday's training. Vincent, Marcus Smart and Adou Thiero were also absent due to injuries.

The above information means that James may not play too much in the six preseason games of the Lakers. He played in just three preseason games last year, and Dave McMenamin said that could be one of the reasons why he felt tired early in the season.

"I was told that maybe he overtrained last year's preseason and ended up feeling tired by December," Dave McMenamin reported. "So LeBron's team has communicated with the Lakers and said 'We have to be too cautious about LeBron because if this team wants to compete for the championship, we need LeBron to be at its best from April to June.'"
