LeBron James has been sidelined at the start of the NBA season due to sciatica. Lakers head coach JJ Redick recently provided an update on LeBron's possible return to the court.
Assuming no setbacks during his recovery, LeBron is expected to miss the Lakers' upcoming long road trip. The plan is for him to return in the game against the Utah Jazz in November.
With consecutive games against Utah, this will offer LeBron a good opportunity to gradually reintegrate before facing a challenging matchup against the LA Clippers on November 25.
“Barring any setbacks in LeBron's recovery, I assume that he will sit out the Lakers long road trip and return to action against the Utah Jazz on Nov.”
