It looked like the Los Angeles Lakers were heading towards a challenging run of games without superstar LeBron James, who tested positive to Covid-19 on Tuesday and was set to be out for at least 10 days. But a sudden turn of events could change everything.
According to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, The King has been cleared from the NBA‘s health and safety protocols and could be back in action on Friday night against Los Angeles Clippers.
The thing is that, even though he tested positive on Tuesday before the Sacramento Kings matchup, he has reportedly tested negative multiple times since then. Unsurprisingly, fans on social media went wild anyway.
