While LeBron has taken the brunt of the blame for the Lakers woes, Dr. Karen Joubert, the physical therapist who worked with him during his groin injury wanted to let everyone know that he had been playing injured and should have sat out for most of the season.

The physical therapist eventually took down the post after trolls took over her page.
Lakers fans are trash. He should have sat out the whole season. I wonder how many of you idiots are going to call this woman a liar. pic.twitter.com/GcZ9HJFj0O

Grade 3 Groin strain is not 6 months you dolts. He came back in the estimated timeline. Remember after he quit against the celtics in 2010 his PR team said it was due to being sedated. Pure PR.
