It’s been over a week since LeBron James had his name added back to the injury report, and while his highly-anticipated return has been teased at various points during that time, he has yet to suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers again.
The question is: Why?
Lakers head coach Frank Vogel did his best to answer that query before the Lakers’ tipped off against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, and his general message was simple: James just isn’t ready yet.
“I think he wanted to be back long before now, but obviously you have to listen to your body,” Vogel said of James.
