After missing the past seven games due to flu-like symptoms and later a case of pneumonia that required him to be hospitalized for three days, JaVale McGee is hopeful to return Sunday night when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Sacramento Kings.
McGee participated in shootaround and is considered a game-time decision. “Feeling pretty good,” he said of his physical state. McGee was hopeful to return Christmas Day, when he was due to be presented with a championship ring by his former Golden State Warriors team.
He did not make the trip to Oakland but joined the Lakers when they traveled to Sacramento the following day.
