This is the next expected upgrade from the Lakers in this crazy race towards the Playoffs. And what an upgrade my friends, since we are talking about the return of… LeBron James to the courts after more than a month of absence. We are almost there !
Little tweet went unnoticed yesterday, or almost, when the insider Adrian Wojnarowski told us that the status of LeBron James had just gone from absent to uncertain. For many it doesn’t mean much, but in the small lexicon of the NBA this info simply means that the process is underway, and that it could – perhaps – even accelerate the pace in the coming hours.
The return of the king draws near.
LeBron goes from “absent” to “uncertain”, in a few days it will be “questionable” then “Game time decision” and finally “fuck them kids let’s go”

Injured in the foot at the end of the All-Star Game and broken record, the King missed the entire month of March and will therefore return for the very end of the regular, just to push the Playoffs with friends. The Lakers program until April 9? A double-confrontation with the Bulls, then a series of games against franchises in the West (Wolves, Rockets, Clippers, Suns and Jazz twice). Eight games to play, at least five to take if the Lakers don’t want to fall into the trap of the Wild Wild West, and we say to ourselves that, logically, with LBJ at the head of the ship everything should (could) go well for the Angelinos.
A return tonight against the Bulls? Not necessarily what is announced right away but, never forget, in the NBA for 20 years… it’s LeBron James who decides.
