LeBron James hopes to return within the final three-to-four games of the Los Angeles Lakers' regular season, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
James has missed the past 12 contests due to a tendon injury in his right foot, with Los Angeles going 7-5 during that span.
The Lakers' final four meetings of the 2022-23 campaign include a pair of matchups against the Utah Jazz as well as tilts versus the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns.
