The Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling lately, losing eight of their last 12 games. In the middle of this tough stretch, LeBron James stirred controversy by sitting out for two games. However, the Lakers star returned on Sunday and helped his team secure a 116-110 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

LeBron's return wasn't just limited to the court. After the win, he also ended his self-imposed social media break. Last month, LeBron surprised fans by announcing he was stepping away from social media. His sudden decision left many wondering when he would return.

On Monday, LeBron reappeared online with a positive message. He shared a post from the LeBron James Family Foundation, congratulating a student named Arianna on graduating from Kent State University. "Congrats Arianna!!! Continue inspiring others!!" LeBron wrote on his X handle.

Congrats Arianna!!! Continue inspiring others!! :clap::skin-tone-5::clap::skin-tone-5::clap::skin-tone-5::crown::heart: https://t.co/EVO9FKhPVH

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar took a break from social media on November 20, as he announced on X. After taking an eight-day break from the NBA, LeBron returned against the Grizzlies and also reappeared on social media after 26 days.

LeBron James missed his previous two games because of soreness in his left foot. Ahead of the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick explained the team's strategy for managing James' workload to keep him healthy throughout the season.

"We've communicated with LeBron, with Mike (Mancias), Leroy (Sims), Rob (Pelinka). It's not like these conversations haven't been happening already.  LeBron and I spoke Sunday right after our meeting and walkthrough at the arena, and again, he was already going to take an excused absence," Redick said.

In his return, LeBron delivered a solid performance, contributing 18 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. He is averaging 22.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game this season.

LeBron's presence on the court helped the Lakers improve to a 14-12 record. The Lakers will now prepare for their next challenge against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.
