Here to talk about when he's going to come back and hopefully give us an actual date, Jovan Buha, who covers the Lakers for us at The Athletic. Jovan, I'm putting you on the spot. I want to start there because, look, this team, since the Luka Doncic trade,

They feel like a contender, and when LeBron was out there with Luka, I mean, we got a new version of Showtime, and I think it was bringing out the best in both of those guys. Obviously, he's been out for a minute now. What's the latest on LeBron, and when can we expect to see him back out there?

Yeah, so he's technically day to day, but he's been day to day for over a week now. So maybe it seems more like week to week, but it seems like philosophical there. Exactly. I think the soonest we will see him is Saturday against Chicago, but probably more likely at some point on that road trip that they're about to go on. They're going to Orlando and Indiana and Chicago and Memphis.

They got a four game trip next week. So I think most likely at some point on that trip, but there is a slight chance that he is back Saturday against Chicago.

They got a four game trip next week. So I think most likely at some point on that trip, but there is a slight chance that he is back Saturday against Chicago.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, exactly.

Seems like Chicago is in play for Rui to make his return. He started doing some three-on-three action, so that's their ramp-up process. I think the Lakers, with both players and in general, have been a bit cautious with injuries this year. They are trying to prioritize health over seating. So I think Rui's on a similar timeline to LeBron. He's a little bit closer to returning.
