LeBron James returns to score 18 in Lakers’ win vs Grizzlies after missing 2 games with foot injury

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — LeBron James returned to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night in a 116-110 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies after a two-game break. “It’s very rare throughout the course of the season where you can take advantage of the schedule, and I was able to do that the past week.” The Lakers described James’ time away as an excused absence while noting that he’s also been managing some left foot pain. “He said he felt like he was.” James is the NBA’s oldest player and turns 40 on Dec. 30. For guys like him and, the Tom Brady’s of the world, the Roger Federer’s of the world, it’s hard to comprehend having that level of sustained excellence for so long because of the toll that it takes on all of you, not just your body.” James said he spent most of his time away rehabbing his foot and training to stay in game shape. “It was a very easy decision for myself and for the team and for my trainer to be able to take advantage of those days, just for everything,” James said.
