Shams Charania disclosed that James played despite a torn tendon in his foot during the postseason on “The Pat McAfee Show.” An off-season operation is being discussed.

With a ruptured tendon in his foot, he may require surgery this summer, but he was able to play through the last few months of the season. I have heard that he is reassessing that foot. He may require surgery on that foot, which might keep him out of commission for two months, according to Charania.

Throughout the season, the Los Angeles Lakers star battled a number of injuries. He missed a month of action due to a right foot injury he sustained against the Dallas Mavericks in late February.

Despite not missing any games due to the injury, James’ right foot pain was noted on the injury report the whole postseason. Due to right foot pain, he was also labeled as questionable for several games in April.

James scored forty points in Game 4, including thirty-one in the first half, despite the fact that his team lost on Monday and was dominated by the Nuggets. In that game, he played for 47 minutes.

James, who is 38 years old, has participated in 20 seasons of professional basketball. He hinted that he would call it quits this offseason.

LeBron James may undergo foot surgery in the offseason, as he had suggested during his recuperation in March. Perhaps this is the reason he disclosed that he wasn’t certain if he would be able to play in the fall, even though it wasn’t directly related to his retirement plans.
