LeBron James is back after a 13-game NBA absence

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 only other time James has been a spare in his 20-year NBA profession was in 2007 when he played for Cleveland.

The Lakers went 8-5 without James to reach 37-37 and stand eighth in the Western Conference with the same record as

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.
