LeBron James, who missed the past 13 NBA games for the Los Angeles Lakers with a tendon injury in his right foot, was back on Sunday.
After stretching his foot, James was functional for the Lakers’ Home game against the Chicago Bulls; the club says the 38-year-old forward would come off the bench.
The Lakers went 8-5 without James to reach 37-37 and stand eighth in the Western Conference with the same record as
number seven Minnesota and nine New Orleans in the fight for play-in post-season positions.
James, who last performed on February 26, has missed 27 games this season due to injury, matching the most of any campaign in his career.
