LeBron James may have recently returned from a groin strain that kept him out 17 consecutive games, but he is still working his way back to MVP form.
At 34 years old and in his 16th NBA season, James suffered the most significant injury of his career and has been extremely cautious on the court thus far.
Despite not being 100 percent healthy yet and missing the ensuing game after returning due to load management, he is still averaging 23.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists since getting back on the court.
In the 129-128 win over the Boston Celtics, James looked much more like himself and expressed confidence in his progress so far.
