“6 preseason matches, so hopefully I can be on the court at least half of them,” LeBron shared after training. “But we’ll see. I think every match will dictate it. I will not appear in Saturday’s clash, that’s for sure, in the Bay. But we’ll see what will happen in the next matches.”
LeBron, who will turn 39 in the last month of the year, is the oldest active player in the National Basketball League and is coming off a campaign in which he was not on the court in 27 games because of a right foot problem.
The Lakers manager Darvin Ham admitted that LeBron “without question” has recovered from his injury during the past season.
