CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Lakers star LeBron James is expected to practice with the organization’s G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, as he progresses toward making his season debut.
Coach JJ Redick misspoke when he said ahead of Monday’s road game that James, who has been sidelined to start the season because of sciatica, was going to practice with South Bay on Monday.
A source clarified to the Southern California News Group that the current plan is for James to practice with South Bay at some point this week, while the parent team is away from Southern California as part of an on-going five-game trip.
