NBA fans are buzzing after a video surfaced online showing LeBron James dancing wildly at a party, just weeks after suffering a Grade 2 medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprain in his left knee. The Los Angeles Lakers announced the injury on April 30, following their playoff loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, with ESPN predicting a recovery time of three to five weeks.
The footage, shared by UnitedLife4ever on YouTube and TikTok, shows James moving freely with both knees bent, sparking questions about the legitimacy of his injury. While some fans praised his apparent quick recovery, others expressed skepticism.
Some fans questioned the severity of the injury, with one user commenting, “His knee looks alright to me.” Others speculated about the injury’s legitimacy, with some suggesting James might be “faking it.”
Veteran sports commentator Skip Bayless accused James of “faking” the injury to use as an excuse, citing a conversation with an NBA trainer who doubted the severity of the MCL sprain.
