Fans who spent the last few days wondering whether or not LeBron James would make his Los Angeles Lakers debut in the team’s first preseason game on Sunday finally have their answer: He will, though exactly how long he’ll spend on the court remains (and almost definitely will remain) a mystery.
“We talked about it a little bit today, so we’ll get him out there on Sunday,” Lakers head coach Luke Walton told reporters after practice Thursday afternoon. “How much he plays will be determined later, but he’ll get out there on Sunday.”
In what should come as no surprise whatsoever, we got a pretty non-specific range from Walton.
