Lakers star LeBron James will be re-evaluated Wednesday and coach Luke Walton said he's optimistic for the news, reports ESPN.
James was cleared to increase his on-court workload last week, and the team will put out a new status update after he is re-evaluated Wednesday.
James did the most at shootaround Tuesday since he was injured. He was shooting and passing during half-court situations.
The four-time MVP and 14-time All-Star has been out of the Lakers' lineup since suffering a groin injury on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers (23–21) have gone 3–7 since Christmas.
