LeBron James has never been the type to be injury prone, and at 38, we still wouldn’t say he quite is. Still, injuries do seem a bit easier to come by now. And unfortunately for the Lakers, his latest ankle injury comes at a pivotal point in the season.

The injury was later diagnosed to be a right foot tendon injury. So, fortunately, there is no fracture, and the recovery timeline has been ruled to be three weeks. However, until that point, the man has been advised to stay off that right foot of his.
Now, LeBron James has always been a very creative person. So, when it came to finding the solution to the problem of moving around now, the man was always going to come up with an outlandish one.
But, what came as a bit unexpected, was that the man would be willing to sacrifice his daughter, Zhuri for the cause.
LeBron James uses what could potentially be Zhuri James’s toy scooter to move around in Crypto.com Arena
LeBron James is currently wearing a medical boot on his right foot to ensure the utmost protection, as most players do. But then again, most players also have crutches to go along with it, to help them stay off their feet.
LeBron James on the other hand apparently decided that crutches weren’t good enough for him. So instead, he may have decided to borrow one of Zhuri’s little scooters. Take a look at the Twitter clip below.
Now, it must be said that there is no confirmation on if this truly is Zhuri’s scooter. All there is, are unconfirmed rumors. However, admittedly, the thought of the man asking his adorable daughter for it, and her begrudgingly giving it to him is a fun thought to have.
At least, that thought is far more entertaining than the likely reality that LeBron James simply got a standard-issue medical scooter. Suddenly the story goes from being one of the more adorable, down to just undeniably boring.
Which one to believe? We’ll let you choose.
