James, 35, is ecstatic to be back on the court.
The NBA hasn’t been active since March, when the league paused the 2019-20 season due to the novel coronavirus.
Now, the Lakers are ready to resume their quest to capture a championship this season. James has been leading the charge.
The four-time MVP is averaging 25.7 points, 10.6 assists and 7.9 boards per game this season. He is focused on winning his fourth title.
As a result, James is taking the small opportunities, such as Saturday’s contest against the Orlando Magic, to get back in game shape and hold himself to higher standards.
The Lakers officially resume their season against the Los Angeles Clippers on July 30.
