Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James 'frustrated' by NBA's COVID-19 testing process

LOS ANGELES -- LeBron James said his brief stint in the NBA's health and safety protocols left him feeling "confused," "frustrated" and "angry" after his first game back in the Lakers' 119-115 loss to the LA Clippers on Friday night.

James missed the Lakers' game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday after returning a positive test for COVID-19 on Tuesday morning that required him to isolate from his team and fly back to L.A. solo on a plane chartered by the team.

"I knew I was going to get cleared because I never, ever felt sick at all," James said after finishing with 23 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals against the Clippers.
