LeBron James’ first return from a high ankle sprain lasted less than two full games and the Los Angeles Lakers superstar really didn’t look quite like himself when he was on the court. After taking another couple of games off to further heal, James’ second return looked much different.
James poured in 24 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in the Lakers’ 122-115 victory over the Indiana Pacers. When things got close down the stretch it was James who kicked in with seven consecutive points to ensure the Lakers’ win.
But as good as James looked on the court, the most important thing is how he was feeling after the game.
