LOS ANGELES -- Lakers star forward LeBron James will "try to give it a go" Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies, coach JJ Redick said before the game.
James missed L.A.'s past two games with soreness in his left foot and was away from the team for personal reasons, according to Redick.
James was upgraded from questionable to available and will start against Memphis.
Because of the NBA Cup, the Lakers were able to take a prudent approach with the schedule to allow James to recalibrate and recharge his body. L.A. plays just two games in a 10-day stretch from Dec. 9-18.
James last played on Dec. 6, giving him eight days off between games.
