LeBron James and Joel Embiid

LeBron James has been very active on social media lately, earlier this week he sent a message after the Lakers' loss to the Atlanta Hawks, and now he has come out to get the back of last NBA's MVP winner Joel Embiid who will be out for several games due to an injury.

"Where are all the media outlets, tv media personalities, hot takes that talked so much (crap emoji) about Joel Embiid about missing those games when he knew what he was dealing with."

In another tweet, following his last post, LeBron added: "Now he’s out with an injury because of it. Not 1 person has went back on tv or their dumbass podcast and apologized to that MAN!! No accountability."

LeBron James' words are probably about the NBA media constantly targeting the players who get injured and are against resting them, being vocal about how the stars should always be on the court.

The Lakers have lost Jarred Vanderbilt for several weeks

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently announced that Vanderbilt is expected to miss several weeks with a right foot injury, now has added: "There’s more evaluation that needs to be done on right mid-foot area for Vanderbilt and possibility his absence could be more significant than several weeks, sources said. Vanderbilt’s played some of his best ball as a Laker lately and certainly is one of team’s best defenders."
