Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is inching closer to returning to the court after missing the start of the 2025-26 NBA season due to sciatica. Speaking to reporters on Monday after his first full practice with the team this season, James admitted, “My lungs feel like a newborn baby … I got to get my lungs back up to a grown man.”
On Sunday, the Lakers faced the Utah Jazz. Once again, LeBron picked up right where he left off. His explosiveness was on full display, leaving no doubt that he hasn’t slowed down despite entering his record-setting 23rd NBA season.
