LeBron James gets cut above eye by elbow during Team USA’s win over Brazil
LeBron James sustained a cut above his eye during Team USA’s Olympic victory over Brazil, adding an unexpected twist to an otherwise dominant performance. The game, held on Tuesday, saw Team USA advance to the semifinal round with a decisive 122-87 win.
Despite the one-sided nature of the match, James’ injury was a notable moment.
The incident occurred in the third quarter when James, a star player for the Los Angeles Lakers, was involved in a rebound play.
Georginho de Paula of Brazil inadvertently elbowed James above his eye while both players were contending for the ball.
James, who was stationary under the basket, was hit by the airborne de Paula.
Immediately after the elbow, James fell to the court in visible pain.
He left the game to receive medical attention but later returned to the bench with a noticeable wound above his eye.
