Seemingly out of nowhere, LeBron James will make his return to the lineup on Sunday for the Lakers after missing three weeks with a foot tendon injury. After reports late last week indicated it would be the end of the season before he’d be closer to a return, LeBron was upgraded to doubtful, then questionable, then was available for his return.
LeBron James has been upgraded to available for today’s game.

To say this all came as a surprise based on reports around LeBron would be quite the understatement.
