LOS ANGELES -- Lakers star LeBron James returned Saturday against the Chicago Bulls after a two-week absence because of a strained left groin.
James suffered the injury midway through the fourth quarter of L.A.'s 111-101 road loss to the Boston Celtics on March 8. The Lakers went 3-4 in their next seven games without him.
The 22-year veteran is averaging 25.0 points on 51.7% shooting (38.4% from 3), 8.5 assists and 8.2 rebounds in 58 games this season.
James' return coincides with the Lakers' roster being as healthy as it has been all season.
