LeBron James returns to the court as he is seen shooting free throws after ditching walking boot
LeBron James returns to the court as he is seen shooting free throws days after ditching the walking boot…after hinting at a comeback with a cryptic Instagram post
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was seen taking free throws in a sign that he is recovering from a foot injury.
Just before Tuesday night’s game between the Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans, ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin recorded video of James taking shots.
James has been out of action for a while after suffering a tendon injury in his right foot earlier this month.
LeBron was ruled out for several weeks and was seen traveling with the team, but wearing a protective walking boot.
Recently, in a game against the New York Knicks on Sunday, James was seen without his boot on, which Lakers fans took as a positive sign.
LeBron James was seen practicing his free throw routing before tonight’s game in New Orleans.
LeBron had been seen wearing a boot in recent contests, but it was off in Sunday’s game.
After warmups, LeBron shared this cryptic image with no caption or context
After McMenamin posted the post, James took to Instagram and posted a drawing of himself in a Matrix-style contraption with a breathing machine and probes attached to it.
The caption on the post didn’t explain anything else, leaving things up to Lakers fans and the rest of the league to interpret.
While rehabbing, LeBron was seen at his son Bronny’s high school basketball games and alongside his wife Savannah at an Oscars after-party.
The Lakers desperately need the services of James if they hope to stay alive in the Western Conference playoff race.
