LeBron James reveals why he stepped away from Lakers

LeBron James explained his two-game absence from the Los Angeles Lakers as he returned to the basketball court Dec. 15.

After being forced to miss two games with the Los Angeles Lakers in an eight-day span, the NBA forward re-emerged Dec. 15 to help his team score a 116-110 win against the Memphis Grizzlies — though he was reluctant to step away to treat a foot injury.

“I had an opportunity to take more days and get my mind, body and everything where I wanted it to be for tonight,” James continued. “And it worked out.”But the basketball veteran — who turns 40 on Dec. 30 — still kept busy during his downtime, noting that he did “a lot of rehabbing, a lot of training still to make sure that I was ready to go tonight. Didn't want to get too much out of shape.”

“Not necessarily less minutes,” Redick told reporters in a post-game press conference, per EPSN, “but shorter runs so that he's not getting gassed and then quicker segments on the bench and then he's back in.”
