The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t attached a timeline to when LeBron James will return from right foot injury. However, speaking ahead of Sunday’s game, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham gave the most positive update yet on where James is at.
“We anticipate him coming back at some point (this season),” Ham said.
James himself recently posted a positive update to social media. He tagged a picture of his feet with a caption that read “recharging” with a photo of a battery at nearly full charge.
The Lakers star has been out since injury his right foot on February 26 in a win over the Dallas Mavericks. Los Angeles has gone 5-5 without James in the lineup over the last three weeks. The Lakers enter Sunday’s contest a half-game out of the 10 seed, which is the final spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament.
