The wait to see LeBron James vs Kevin Durant continues

It’s been a long time since LeBron James and Kevin Durant clashed on the court. In fact, they last met each other on the hardwood in 2018. Since then, an unexpected incident seems to cause the two All-Star to miss playing against each other. Whenever the Los Angeles Lakers or the Brooklyn Nets played a game, one of the two superstars seemed to be ruled out due to injury.

The Lakers and the Nets have faced each other 13 times. Out of which, LeBron was absent in four games and Durant in nine games. And for the 14th game, taking place on Sunday night, it’s reported that LeBron is set to miss out once more. Lakers head coach Darvin Ham?stated that they want to be precautious with LeBron and that he needs rest.

Meanwhile, the Slim Reaper recently addressed King James’s injury. He stated, “LeBron is tough to deal with on the floor.” He also stated that if he is not on the floor, the game will be easier for his team.
