The countdown inexorably advances towards the reappearance of Lebron James, although it does so with all kinds of precautions. The King's injury has not been minor, and at 40 years old, it is important to take things very cautiously and manage the loads. That is why he is training with the G-League team and could even compete with them.

Can you imagine what it must mean for a player from the South Bay of the G-League to train for a week with Lebron James? The fact that one of the best players in history is in Los Angeles fine-tuning his preparation is not unusual, but there is so much eagerness to see a good version of the King upon his return that the Lakers' technical staff and the player himself are considering the possibility of him playing in a G-League game to ensure his comeback to the NBA.

Everything indicates that the established date to return to compete with the Lakers would be November 18, in the game against the Utah Jazz. Therefore, if the training sessions go well, Lebron James could have minutes in the G-League during the upcoming week to arrive with greater certainty for that commitment. Other big names who had a similar experience were Amare Stoudemire, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, Donovan Mitchell, and Kawhi Leonard, as well as Stephen Curry and Tony Parker.
