Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham provided a positive update on LeBron James as the superstar nears a return to help the team reach the playoffs.
James sustained an ill-timed foot injury a few weeks ago which threatened to derail the Lakers’ push to the postseason just as they gained some momentum. However, the Lakers have continued to stay in the mix and they secured a crucial 111-105 win over the Orlando Magic at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night.
Before the game, Ham suggested James is set to return as the 10th-place Lakers hope to climb the Western Conference. Ahead of the match with the Magic, Ham said of James: “We anticipate him coming back at some point [this season].”
