LeBron James will return to Cleveland on Wednesday night as the Lakers continue their road trip against the Cavaliers. Despite saying he was ill since Friday after LA's 109-105 loss to Phoenix on Monday, James is not on the Lakers' injury report. He is available to play against his former team.
The Lakers star is coming off one of his worst outings ever after managing only 11 points on 3 of 14 shooting against the Suns. He will look to bounce back against the unbeaten Cavs and lead LA back to winning ways.
It's also another possible milestone night for James. He could play with his son, Bronny James, against their hometown franchise in front of their friends and family from Cleveland.
