Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James continues to make progress following a tendon injury in his right foot and could play 'a few' games in the final week of the regular season, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
James tweeted on Thursday that he is working out three times a day to give himself the "best chance of coming back full strength."
When asked for more details about the nature of James' workouts, Lakers coach Darvin Ham simply said, "They're intense and they're going well." The Lakers are No. 10 in the Western Conference and occupy the final play-in tournament spot with nine games remaining.for the No. 6 seed, however, which would mean a guaranteed first-round berth should L.A. be able to elevate to that spot in the standings.
James was averaging 29.5 points on 50.1% shooting, 8.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game prior to the injury -- unprecedented production for a player in his 20th NBA season. The Lakers have stayed afloat without him, going 7-5 since he was sidelined, including winning their past two games.
