LeBron James was once again solid and did a little bit of everything in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 113-100 victory over the Sacramento Kings. James finished with 19 points, six rebounds and seven assists in the win, while also committing just two turnovers.
It was LeBron’s second game back in the lineup after missing the Lakers’ previous two games due to left foot soreness. That also coincided with a fortunate schedule break for the Lakers, ultimately giving James nine full days off in between games, allowing for him to help heal his body.
LeBron has said numerous times that as long as he is healthy he prefers to suit up and he recently reiterated that point, though he did add that if there is a long-term benefit for himself and the betterment of the team, he is open to having conversations about limiting his workload, via Jovan Buha and Sam Amick of The Athletic:
“I’m just not a guy that likes to sit games, if I’m somewhat healthy,” James said.
