LeBron will now reportedly be practicing with the South Bay Lakers. There appear to be no restrictions on James, as this practice also includes 5-on-5 action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">LeBron working with the South Bay Lakers is exactly the vision head coach JJ Redick had when he said the G League team and the Lakers could be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverscreenandroll.com\/2024\/9\/27\/24256355\/jj-redick-lakers-south-bay-g-league-bronny-james-zach-guthrie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cmodel for integration.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">South Bay runs the same system the Lakers do, so James will be getting exactly the kind of reps he would be receiving if this were a Lakers practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If LeBron\u2019s body responds well to full-contact play with no setbacks, then it\u2019s just a matter of time before he makes his season debut with the Lakers. The team returns to LA for a game against the Jazz on Nov. 18. That could possibly be the contest where LeBron returns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, the team immediately hits the road for one more game against the Jazz, this time in Utah. So, maybe he waits and returns on Nov. 25 when the Lakers host the Clippers for an NBA Cup game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If all that\u2019s left is to decide when LeBron makes his season debut, then the Lakers are in a very good place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Despite not having their superstar All-NBA player, Los Angeles has started the year 8-3. Once LeBron returns, that\u2019ll be a huge injection of talent slotted into the starting lineup. Then, the Lakers can find out just how good this team can be when it\u2019s at full strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Things keep progressing positively for LeBron James as he prepares for his return to the basketball court.
