Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick previously acknowledged he wasn’t sure when LeBron James would return to the lineup, so it was good to see the superstar declared active against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night.
James was ruled out against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a sore foot, but was also granted personal time away from the game. James then got additional time off after he missed the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, making it over a week since he last played a game.
The time off did James well as he looked spry against Memphis and Redick acknowledged it’s important for the superstar to get rest for his body and mind.
