BREAKING: LeBron James Given the Green Light to Resume NBA Action
They have cleared ahead LeBron James of schedule to return to action for the Los Angeles Lakers. In accordance with the health and safety protocols of the NBA, we expected him to miss multiple games over the next 10 days. However, after registering multiple negative tests with the NBA, they have given him the green light to return on Friday. We expect him to be back when the Lakers face their city rivals, the Clippers on Friday.
This news comes as a delight to the Lakers franchise and fans as their number one player returns for a crucial game. After returning from Sacramento, they reportedly tested LeBron eight times before he was given the go-ahead. This seems to be the fishy thing that LeBron was referring to in his cryptic tweet.

Is this what LeBron James meant in his cryptic tweet?
A day after they announced that LeBron is missing a couple of games because he went into the health and safety protocol, the internet went crazy. Fans could not believe that despite being fully vaccinated, LeBron was tested positive. Amidst that chaos and confusion, LeBron confused the fans even more. He tweeted this a day after entering the protocol.

The first report might have been a false positive. And as it was earlier reported, it seems that James was talking about that in his tweet. Nevertheless, this development is a positive sign for NBA basketball.
What does this mean for the Lakers?
The Lakers rallied back against the Sacramento Kings to blow them out by 25 points. And that too in LeBron’s absence. Malik Monk stepped up in LeBron’s absence and took over the offensive load while dropping an efficient 22 points with a 50% field goal percentage.

If Monk maintains this consistency then upon LeBron’s return, the Lakers would again start looking like a team contending for the playoffs and to win it all. LeBron will now no longer miss crucial games against the Clippers and Celtics. Is this finally the end of LeBron’s woes of missing games due to health reasons?
