Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James reportedly has cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

This is a huge boost for the Lakers, as James was slated to miss at least 10 days of action if he was unable to return the negative tests.
That would have cost him games against the Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies after not playing on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings.
On the season, James is averaging 25.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from beyond the arc.
He and the Lakers will take on the Clippers at 7 p.m. PST on Friday night.
