LeBron James back for Lakers after missing 13 games for foot

After missing the past 13 games, LeBron James is available to play for the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls.

James has been dealing with a tendon injury in his right foot. He was initially upgraded Saturday to doubtful for Sunday's game, then Sunday was deemed questionable before testing his foot and being cleared to play.

The Lakers have gone 8-5 since James went down, reaching .500 for the first time all season with a 116-111 win over Oklahoma City on Friday and climbing to No. 8 in the Western Conference standings.
