LeBron James has been sidelined with a groin strain for the Los Angeles Lakers since March 8, but head coach JJ Redick indicated the star's return is around the corner.
Before the Lakers played the Milwaukee Bucks Thursday, Redick said he's "hopeful" that James would play in the team's next game, according to Mark Medina. That would make James's return for Saturday against the Chicago Bulls after a six-game absence.
