Follow usLA Lakers’ star LeBron James made it back in exactly four weeks after his injury, missing 13 games, in time to participate in his team final push to qualify for the playoffs.
With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the loss to Chicago dropped L.A. to No. 9 in the Western Conference standings, but only two games behind the No. 6 Golden State Warriors.
“Obviously, the rhythm is the most important,” James said. “I had a couple of drives and the ball got away from me. A couple of shots didn’t feel as good as before, obviously. But I was out for four weeks, so between that and the wind, just trying to get those things back leading to the final stretch of the season.”
“To hell with the play-in; we actually can be a top-eight seed,” James said.
