LeBron James is set to return for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Chicago Bulls after a two-week absence due to a strained left groin. The team has confirmed his availability following a challenging stretch where they managed a 3-4 record without him. In his 58 games this season, James has consistently delivered impressive stats, averaging 25 points, 8.5 assists, and 8.2 rebounds while shooting 51.7% overall.

As he returns, the Lakers are finally nearing full health this season, with only Maxi Kleber and two-way player Trey Jemison III remaining inactive. Coach JJ Redick expressed optimism about the last stretch of games, aiming to build team chemistry and consistency as they look to replicate their form prior to the Boston game.
