LeBron James injury update

LeBron James continues his preparation as he works toward his season debut for the Los Angeles Lakers.

James practiced with the South Bay Lakers, the NBA team's G-League affiliate, for a second time on Thursday. The four-time MVP did not experience any residual effects from his workout on Wednesday, according to ESPN. It was the first time James was said to have played 5-on-5 since the first round of the playoffs in April.

The Lakers are finishing out the final two games of a five-game road trip this weekend. James did not make the trip.

James, who will turn 41 years old at the end of December, has played at least 70 games in each of the past two seasons.
