After missing the longest stretch of games in his career due to a high ankle sprain, LeBron James made his anticipated return against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.
Although the Lakers were not able to come up with a win, they can take solace in the fact that James looked completely healthy when out on the floor. The 36-year-old played 32 minutes and recorded 16 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
Any time a player misses significant time, there is inevitably going to be rust that they need to knock off as well as conditioning issues.
