LeBron James (groin) may be able to return Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) has a chance to return on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
That indicates James will not play on Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers, but if there aren't any setbacks during practice this week, he could suit up on Thursday for the first time since Christmas. That would likely return Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to a role off the bench and lead to reduced usage for the rest of the first unit.
LeBron was averaging 50.5 FanDuel points through 34 games before the injury, with 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 2.0 triples per contest.
