LeBron James injury has already caused the Los Angeles Lakers a lot.

LeBron James injury with ankle is not a piece of new news now and the Los Angeles Lakers have already suffered in NBA games. Since LeBron is sidelined after the ankle injury and he is on the bench, it has been noticed that he has not been in attendance with Frank Vogel for the past two games.

Lebron James injury has been the reason for his absence.

It would be normal if LeBron James’ broken ankle was the reason behind his absence from the last two games whereas he was seen cheering for his team and boosting the morale of team members in the previous games.

Frank Vogel said that LeBron's absence from the Lakers' last two games against Denver and LAC was not medically related. When asked for the reason James was not present, Vogel said, "He's just not here." Added that James was at shootaround Thursday but will not join team in POR

Maybe he would be spending some time with family and recovering from the ankle injury but Frank Vogel – Los Angeles head coach, created a ruckus by answering with a no when he was asked that James absence was due to medical reasons.

Frank Vogel not just said no to the question about LeBron James Injury reasons but also added James is just not here. I mean how can a coach say such lines for the star player of the NBA, there can only be two reasons –

1. LeBron James is leaving the Los Angeles Lakers.
2. There is some kind of misunderstanding between Frank and James.

Considering ESPN‘s trustworthy and legitimate sources I can only go for 2nd reason.

LeBron James' absences from the Nuggets and Clippers games were considered excused by the Lakers to allow James time to "stay off the ankle," a source with knowledge of the situation tells ESPN. https://t.co/b23YxZGmWL

According to this, LeBron James injury reason was the correct one and what Frank Vogel said makes no sense. Then why Vogel reacted in such a manner and created suspense, rumours, ruckus, etc among the fans and audience. I don’t think that a man at his level can make statements without context like Adam Schefter though he is a journalist and Frank is a coach.
Well, whatever has happened between James and Vogel we don’t know all we want is clarity on the LeBron James injury thing and when the king is making a return.
