Yet to appear in a game with the Lakers this season, James was assigned to the franchise’s G League affiliate in South Bay. LeBron, who turns 41 next month, is set for his first full practice and will even play 5-on-5, according to Charania. When he’ll make his debut is still unclear, but going on what equates to a minor league rehab assignment marks a step towards James’ ultimate return to the court. Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves will continue to run the show for the Lakers until LeBron is back.
