Lakers news: LeBron James faked a shot, Doncic s return time revealed, Titans injury update

Jack James flicked a shot

Yesterday, Lakers star LeBron James updated his social media and posted a video with a style similar to the 10-year "Decision One", and wrote that he would announce "Decision Two" tomorrow. Regarding James's operation, there are speculations that James is advertising Amazon. After all, he made a similar move a few months ago; but more people think that James is likely to announce that next season is the last season of his career. In the past few seasons, James has made many remarks about retirement after being eliminated. In addition, the new season is the 23rd season of James' career, which has increasingly increased the possibility of James' retirement.

However, just today, things have made unexpected progress. James updated the social media and revealed the answer to "Decision Two". It turned out to be an advertisement for Hennessy (a well-known French wine brand) and launched a limited wine named after James. James said in the video: "It's honor to start a collaboration with Hennessy, which means a lot to me." Although James has always liked to do this mysterious operation, it is understandable to advertise the brands he cooperated with, but as a basketball superstar, his marketing methods of using retirement as a gimmick to attract traffic and consume fans' enthusiasm are really inappropriate.

Doncic's comeback time is revealed

At present, the Lakers have played two preseason games, but the new Lakers leader Luka Doncic, who just completed a three-year, $165 million maximum salary renewal this summer, has been placing high-level no-game cards. In this regard, many fans are worried about whether Doncic is suffering from injuries. Today, Lakers coach Redick was interviewed after the team's training and revealed Doncic's recent situation. Redick said: "Doncic is not a big deal, but considering that he just finished the European Championship this summer, his body needs time to rest after high-intensity consumption. He will resume training next week and plan to return at a certain time point in the preseason." Later, according to a follow-up report by the Lakers reporters with the team, considering that Doncic resumes training next week and topicality, the Lakers' home match against the Dallas Mavericks on October 16 is likely to be Doncic's first comeback game. If Doncic plays against the Mavericks, he has two preseason games to find form and develop chemistry with his teammates, which will help him prepare for the upcoming regular season.

The Injury Update

This year's offseason, the Lakers signed Marcus Smart, who reached a buyout with the Wizards and became a free agent with the Wizards. Although Smart's condition has declined significantly compared to his previous best defensive player as he grew older and had more injuries, his size, awareness and offensive and defensive aggressiveness are still above the average level, and he is also the type of player that the Lakers urgently need to add. However, during training with the Lakers, Smart accidentally strained the Achilles tendon, which made him miss the first two preseason games in a row and has not yet made his career debut in the Lakers. Smart's injury situation has also touched the hearts of many fans.

Today, Lakers coach Redick revealed Smart's latest situation in an interview. Redick said: "After this period of rest and treatment, Smart's injury has improved significantly. He participated in most of the team's training content today and showed good physical condition and competitive level. It is expected that he will be able to play soon." For the Lakers, Smart's arrival can not only improve the team's outside defense quality, but also bring a long-lost fighting spirit. Whether on or off the court, Smart can always ignite the passion of his teammates in his own way. I also hope that Smart can get rid of the injuries of the past few years in the new season and show his second career spring.
