LOS ANGELES -- After returning Sunday in the Los Angeles Lakers' 116-100 win over the Memphis Grizzlies following an eight-day layoff, LeBron James said he had to be convinced to take time away from the team to address his sore left foot.

"If it was up to just me, I probably would've played," said James, who came into the season stating his goal to play in all 82 games in his 22nd year in the NBA.
