Lakes forward LeBron James will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Pacers.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel said that James will not have a minutes restriction but that the team will be responsible. The four-time NBA champ has missed the Lakers' last six games with a high-ankle sprain injury and has played just two games since March 21.
Vogel said he has not decided if James will play in the Lakers' season finale against the Pelicans on Sunday. James has not played since May 3, when he exited Los Angeles's 121–114 loss to the Raptors midway through the fourth quarter with soreness in his right ankle.
