The guy's almost 40 years old. He had and has no reason to waste any of his remaining miles on a dead end team going nowhere while injured. If they can actually get into the playoffs, though, that's a different story, which presumably gave him a reason to accelerate his return and avoid surgery (for now...it still may be in the cards later this summer).
None of this is unusual or surprising behavior for any basketball player, least of all somebody of LeBron's stature.
