Life in the bubble can be difficult for players and their families, as guys have been down there for two months now.
Video chatting and some of the other perks technology offers do help, but that communication channel only works for so long. Luckily, however, players’ family members and close friends have now been allowed in the bubble, on the condition that they undergo routine testing while there. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re just picking up where they left off.
As it relates to LeBron James, he’s apparently been spending a lot of time recovering from games. He’s always been great at ensuring his body is in peak condition, adjusting his routine when he sees fit.
But the bubble has presented some additional changes, given that teams have less rest, playing every other night. James has apparently been spending so much time trying to get his body ready to play that his wife, Savannah, has taken note of it, and she’s not thrilled about the time commitment.
LeBron said he’s in a better rhythm of late, but that he’s not where he’d “love” to be physically. He feels good, not great, as circumstances aren’t ideal in the Bubble as compared to the usual for what he’d like to do to prepare his body…

Without giving away his routine, LeBron just said that his wife – who just joined him in the Bubble – isn’t thrilled with how much time he spends getting his body ready from game to game.
