LeBron James gives Lakers injury boost after returning to court during team practice

LeBron James made his first appearance on a basketball court since injuring his right foot.

LA Lakers legend James stepped out in New Orleans during his side's shootaround ahead of their clash with the Pelicans on Tuesday night. He didn't get too active but did shoot a number of free throws to keep his eye in.

James damaged a tendon in his right foot during the Lakers' victory over the Dallas Mavericks on February 26 and had been seen in a moon boot over the past few weeks - leading to fears his season could be over. Those worries are somewhat allied now he ditched the boot, having worn it during the Lakers' game against the New York Knicks on Sunday.
