Now after a couple of weeks, LeBron gave an update on how his recovery is going, saying on the latest episode of the “Mind the Game” podcast with Steve Nash that his knee is much better than it was: “Like I said last episode, it’s been a hell of a lot better. It’s getting better though… It’s getting better.” James would also admit that the most challenging part of his recovery has been having to sit around and not be able to be as active as he would like: “That’s the most challenging thing. Even though I can’t do much as far as like lower body stuff, I’m still like in the weight room, still getting in upper body. The one thing I am able to do a little bit is ride like a stationary bike just to kind of keep the blood flowing and things of that nature, keep the flexibility as much as possible in the knee. But I’m not a guy that likes to sit around. I have a lot of energy and I hate sitting around, so this has definitely been, almost two weeks after the season, they always tell you to take time off and I’m just not that guy. I’m going crazy right now, for sure.” -via Lakers Nation / May 21, 2025
