Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is the oldest player in the NBA. At age 40, the future Hall of Fame forward realistically only has a few years of high-level basketball left in the tank.

LeBron James suffered a left knee injury after colliding with the Minnesota Timberwolves' Donte Dincenzo during the Los Angeles Lakers' season-ending Game 5 loss on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. The injury is a Grade 2 MCL sprain with an anticipated recovery time of between three and five weeks, per McMenamin.

Los Angeles falls 1-4 to Minnesota in a crushing playoff exit, leaving the future of the franchise—and its biggest star—in doubt.
