According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, LeBron James is set to make a comeback in mid-November as his rehabilitation from a lingering sciatica issue is going smoothly, which has kept him sidelined since the start of the season.
The NBA legend has missed the start of the season, but he is expected to return to action within three weeks.
McMenamin said that it will take three more weeks for LeBron to return to action.
He added that his rehab is going in the right direction and there are good vibes around him.
“We’re still in the range of about three more weeks before he would be targeting a return,” McMenamin said on NBA Today.
“I have been told by multiple sources over the last several days that his rehab and all of the process to get back to that return date is moving in the right direction. There are good vibes around him.”
It has been a major boost for the Lakers, who have been struggling early in the season with James, Luka Doncic and several rotation players out with injuries.

LeBron James, who is going to be 41 this year in December, has missed all three opening games of the season for the Lakers. He is suffering from nerve pain caused by sciatica on his right side. It is the condition which causes discomfort in the lower back and leg, and he has reportedly been troubled by it for several months.
According to reports, the Lakers are trying to ensure a full recovery and are unlikely to rush James’ return.
