Memphis grizzlies

Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James returned to action on Monday (IST) after having missed the Los Angeles Lakers previous two games due to left foot soreness to help his team secure a 116-110 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at Crypto.com Arena.

The league veteran of 22 years reflected on his decision to sit out the games against the Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves and believes the short break was a good decision.

"I mean it’s very rare, to be honest, if you can get a break in the schedule like that,” James said after the Lakers’ 116-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. "So it was a very easy decision for myself and for the team and for my trainer to be able to take advantage of those days just for everything. So, it was great."
