LeBron James' long-await return to the Los Angeles Lakers is imminent. James has reportedly been reassigned to the Lakers from the team's G League affiliate amid his ramp-up.

James has missed the first month of the season due to sciatica, a nerve pain that runs down the sciatic nerve from the lower back down the leg. James was diagnosed with the condition during the preseason, and was cleared to return to basketball activities in early November.
