LeBron James returns from 7-game injury absence, and nothing else goes right in Lakers’ blowout loss

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — LeBron James returned from a two-week injury absence Saturday night, looking rested and ready to lead the Los Angeles Lakers down the stretch toward the postseason. “We’ve got to play better basketball than we did tonight, and what we did on our last road trip,” James said before the Lakers headed out on a four-game trip beginning in Orlando on Monday. James scored 17 points after missing the Lakers’ previous seven games with a strained left groin, but the top scorer in NBA history looked rusty in certain moments — particularly late in the first quarter, when he threw a long sideline inbounds pass that curled out of bounds without ever getting close to one of his teammates. But James’ return was just one part of a comprehensively poor effort by the Lakers, who took their second straight loss and hit the latest trough in their peaks-and-valleys season since acquiring Luka Doncic. I hope it’s behind, but I won’t look too far in the future.” Before his injury, James averaged 25.0 points, 8.5 assists and 8.2 rebounds during his record-tying 22nd NBA season.
