Indianapolis- Before the NBA all-star game begins, Laks Star Lebron James mentioned during the availability of his pregem media that he would play limited minutes in the league’s major exhibition-he is a nursing in light of especially left ankle injury.

It came up with James, James was playing at the Genbridge Fieldhouse only at the Eastern Conference of 211–186 of the Western Conference.

“I feel fine,” James said. “I was not putting too much pressure on the game [Sunday] Physically for me. I want to try to be healthy as I can. This last part of the season is very important for us. I got to make sure. ,

James 14 ended with eight points, four ribounds and three assistance in the first half minutes-mostly scoring his points in the transition in an all-star game that once again lacked defensive intensity from the initial tip.

James’s biggest attraction came when the clippers passed a street-op for James to Paul George Bounce in the second quarter-a familiar drama for Laks fans in the recent months, because this bounce was similar to the Elle-Oops that D ‘Angelo Rasel threw James a few times.

He also threw a Tomahawk Dunk down in the first quarter, which still led to a picture of a frame, reminiscent of a sting in his first all-star game 19 years ago.

“This is super real and super crazy and is just very humble and blessed that I can still be able to perform on stage in my career and be able to do some things I did 20 years ago,” James said. “It’s great.”

James said that for the left ankle’s peronial tendenopathy, he received treatment during an all-star break and on Monday plans to get more treatment “possibly” could sideline him for Thursday’s road game against “Golden State Warriors”, saying “it depends on the recovery process.”

Fellow Laks All-Star Anthony Davis (six points, nine aids, eight rebounds in 22 minutes) played only seven first half minutes. By the time he walked late in the third quarter, the Eastern Conference was above 21 and to win a flight over West in the highest scoring NBA all-star game in history.

George (13 points) and Qui Leonard (five digits), representing clippers, played limited roles, both were playing less than 11 minutes with both.

Milwauki Box Guard Demian Lillard led six assistance on 11 3-pointers with 39 points, which was named All-Star Game MVP after winning the second 3-point competition.

Lillard was one of the three former players, who scored at least 30 points with Boston Celtics Forward Jalen Brown (36 points, eight rebounds) and Indiana paise guard Tieres Tieres Heliberton (32 points on 10 3 and 10 32 points to go with six 3 32 points).

Carl-Antony Town, a big man of Minnesota Timbervols, led the West with 50 points-For the fourth time a player has scored at least 50 points in the all-star game.

East shot 42 of 97 (43.3%) at 3S – a sign of sports competition.

Sunday was the first time when the All-Star Game was played under the former vs. West Format since 2017, scripting the format in which the Captain did not tell his respective teams any relations about conference affiliation.

But there was no impact on how the game was played compared to the previous few exhibitions, both teams offered little resistance at the low glamorous end of the floor.

“This is something we need to find out,” James said. “Is it medium?

“It’s a deep thing how we can edge this game. [doesn’t] Like this like scoring free-flow. The good thing is that came out [Sunday] Was no player injured, and everyone came out or how they were before the game started. This is a deep conversation. ,
