The King returned to his court last night in the Los Angeles Lakers’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers 123-120.
LeBron James previously missed the last 17 games due to a groin injury. James last played on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors.
It was same old same old for the King in his first game of 2019. James finished the game with 24 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists, one shy giving him a triple-double in his return.
The Lakers did not fair to well in LeBron’s absence. In the absence, the longest of James’ career, the Lakers went 6-11 in that span. When James was sidelined with the lingering groin injury, the Lakers were 20-14.
It’s been proven that LeBron James makes any team better. The Lakers would not be as successful this season if he wasn’t on the team and this should be obvious to everyone. Look at the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are one of the worst teams in the NBA and they were at the same point when James originally left the team to go to Miami. In all the times the King has been absent due to injury, his team suffer incredibly.
