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.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other.

But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare.

Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show.
