LeBron James is getting closer to a return, but he’s not quite ready yet. The Lakers star is currently sidelined due to a left groin strain sustained during a game against the Celtics on March 8. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter before James exited the game with 6:44 remaining and did not return for the remainder of the contest.

The Los Angeles Lakers returned home and snapped their losing streak with Luka Doncic leading them to a win over the Phoenix Suns.

While the Lakers did lose, the team should feel proud that they were able to fight with so many crucial role players missing. Even rookie Bronny James saw decent game action against the Nuggets. James finished the game by playing 16 minutes for Los Angeles. During that time he scored five points and grabbed two rebounds.

You better be able to take the heat if you want to deliver smack talk. One heckler found that out the hard way when Bronny James called him out during the Lakers and Nuggets game.
