The King James has returned to the court once more.
LeBron James made a return to the floor on Thursday night for the LOS Angeles Lakers as they were paling as the guest team at the Staples Center against the Los Angeles Clippers.
James after nearly one month of absence from the game scored his first point after being four minutes into the game.
For the first half, he played for 17 minutes and scored 5 points along with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal to give the Lakers a lead by 54-53.
Lakers were never able to pull off the lead again in the second half and needed overtime to hold off the LA Clippers as the Lakers won by 123-120. James who logged in 40 minutes on the court scored 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists. With this win, Lakers have now moved to the eighth place in the Western Conference.
James has been sidelined for the court after he suffered from a strained groin during the Christmas Day game against the Golden State Warriors. It was initially believed that he will be back after a short break but as it turned out, it was a long term injury that needed much absence from the court.
James is now back in time for the Lakers who are preparing their five-game road trip which also includes a match against the reigning champion; the Golden State Warriors as well as against Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers before the All-Star break starts.
