Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James took a major step towards his comeback by joining a training session with the G-League affiliate team, the South Bay Lakers, in El Segundo, California, on Thursday.
According to the NBA website quoted in Jakarta, Thursday, James has not played all season due to sciatica , a nerve disorder in the lower right side of his body that he has been experiencing since the start of pre-season training.
"He participated in some warm-up transition drills and then moved on to five-on-five half-court play, about 12 to 15 possessions with full contact," said Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick.
