Following the incident a few days later, James showed off his funny side as he shouted “corner!” before taking a turn on his scooter while arriving at the arena for the Lakers’ clash with the Warriors.

Despite his injury, James has been supporting his teammates at Lakers games while using an orthopedic boot and a knee scooter to reduce the pressure on his injured foot.
James continues to spread positivity and humor wherever he goes, making him a fan favorite on and off the court. His recent “corner!” shout on the scooter is just one example of how he can turn even the most mundane situation into something hilarious.
James is expected to be re-evaluated at the end of March, just before the end of the regular season. The Lakers are currently 11th in the Western Conference and are one game behind the play-in spots for the playoffs. While there is hope that James could return for the postseason, the team needs to qualify for the playoffs first.
