LeBron James didn't play well in the Lakers' Game 1 loss to the Timberwolves, but there is a stat that suggests he may bounce back in strong fashion.

James was listed as probable with a left hip flexor strain on the injury report prior to Game 1 on Saturday. He played 36 minutes in the 117-95 loss, scoring 19 points with five rebounds and three assists. Only Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic logged more minutes than the 40-year-old James.

Whether it mean going to war with Stephen A. Smith over his son, Bronny, or rappers verbally assaulting Savannah, his beloved wife of 11 years and mother to his three children, the NBA great is always there. The trend continued on Sunday when rapper Kevin Gates dissed Mrs. James during a series of Instagram posts.
