LeBron James made a successful return to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night, helping his team secure a 116-110 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
James had been out for two games due to a left foot injury and personal reasons.
James played 34 minutes, contributing 18 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, and five turnovers.

“I felt pretty good,” James said after the game.
“It’s very rare throughout the season where you can take advantage of the schedule, and I was able to do that the past week.”
Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 40 points and 16 rebounds, carrying the team to victory.
Davis had 22 points and 10 rebounds in the first half, and despite briefly leaving the game in the third quarter due to a shoulder injury, he returned in the fourth quarter to score 12 crucial points.
Up next for the Lakers is a trip to Sacramento to face the Kings.
