The Lakers and LeBron James have awaited the superstar’s debut to his 23rd NBA season as he dealt with sciatica in his right side. Los Angeles is returning home from a lengthy five-game road trip and they hope James can join them in game action soon.
James, 40, was assigned to the South Bay Lakers, the franchise’s G League affiliate, while the Lakers were on the road so he could get five-on-five practice reps to ramp up for his season debut. As the Lakers wrapped up their road trip Saturday in Milwaukee, it appears all is on track for James to get back on the court soon following a big step in his recovery.
