Lakers, Darvin Ham: “LeBron will return this season”
Darvin Ham reassures fans that LeBron James, who has been out for three weeks due to a foot injury, will be back on the court before the end of the season
Three weeks ago, LeBron James injured his left foot, causing concerns about the Lakers’ potential qualification for the play-in. Coach Darvin Ham provided an important indication before the game against the Magic: the suspicion that LeBron would be out until the end of the regular season could fall.
He will be back at some point this season

His absence weighs, but Los Angeles (35-37) has reacted by winning 6 of the 11 games played without him, returning among the top 10 teams in the Western Conference, and also finding fundamental performers like Austin Reaves (who scored 35 points against the Magic).
He works on his body three times a day. I think we have a real opportunity with this team

Could he return in the near future? After stopping walking with the brace, LeBron has been often filmed during some pre-game workouts, showing a good state of health. Positive signs for the Lakers for the last games of the regular season, which will be crucial for qualifying for the playoffs.
