King James returns and proves he fits anywhere

After missing the first 14 games of the 2025-26 season with sciatica, LeBron James returned Tuesday as the Lakers beat the Jazz. He posted 11 points and 12 assists and reminded everyone he can fit in with anybody — even a pick‑up team at a family barbecue.

Austin Reaves echoed the confidence, saying LeBron’s seamless comeback only strengthens the purple and gold for the battles ahead.
