LeBron James is back in training

Absent since the start of the season due to sciatica, LeBron James has returned to practice with the Los Angeles Lakers. The four-time NBA champion admitted that he has not yet recovered 100 percent: his return to the court is yet to be determined.

After a stint with South Bay in the G-League, the Californians’ star joined the group: unavailable since late June, LeBron missed the first 14 games of the season, a prolonged and very rare absence for the basketball player.

The’wait seems almost over, however, and when James returns to the parquet he will become the first player to play in his 23rd NBA season. “I am trying to get back to feeling good physically. We will see how my body responds in the next few hours” he told the media at the Lakers’ training center.

“I feel that my lungs are like those of a newborn baby. This is the most important thing: they need to become masculine again. I have already lost my voice after a day of giving instructions and talking in practice. But it is good to be with the boys; I have missed them”.
