Reece James sets target for Chelsea return date

Image
Chelsea captain Reece James is nearing a return from injury and could return to action against Arsenal after the October international break. The right-back has been sidelined with a hamstring problem sustained in the Blues' 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. Mauricio Pochettino's side looked promising in that stalemate with the Reds but they have since won just once in the Premier League. Chelsea have dropped to 14th place having picked up five points from their opening six games, while Pochettino has had to contend with plenty of injuries early on in his tenure at Stamford Bridge. However, the Daily Mail report that he will soon be boosted by the return of James, who is stepping up his recovery from his hamstring strain.

LeBron James update: Lakers star returning vs. Bulls after missing 13 games with foot injury

LeBron James is making his return from a right foot injury on Sunday against the Bulls, the Lakers announced less than an hour before tipoff. James has missed his team's past 13 games due to that foot injury, but tested it in pregame warmups and is good to go in the Sunday matinee in Los Angeles. However, James will not be part of the Lakers starting lineup. Instead, James will come off the bench for just the second time in his NBA career (1,414 regular season games) and the first time since 2007. The injury itself came in the middle of a Feb. 26 clash with the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers trailed by as many as 27 points in the Game , but James played through the injury to help the Lakers complete the comeback. He finished that contest with 26 points, eight rebounds and three assists, but he has been sidelined ever since. LeBron just got out here for warmups 👀 pic.twitter.com/7nrSha0912 — Dani...

LeBron James injury update: Lakers expect star forward to return this season, says coach Darvin Ham

LeBron James is running out of time to return to the court. As of Sunday, the end of the regular season is only three weeks away, and yet it isn't clear when the injured Los Angeles Lakers star will be able to rejoin the team. Fortunately, coach Darvin Ham offered a positive update on his status ahead of Sunday's Game against the Orlando Magic: while he wouldn't specify an exact timeline, Ham did confirm that the Lakers "anticipate him coming back at some point." James suffered a foot injury on Feb. 26 against the Dallas Mavericks. He stayed on the floor to help the Lakers overcome a 27-point deficit to defeat the Mavericks, but he has not played for them since. While the exact nature of the injury is unclear, The Athletic's Shams Charania recently reported that the Lakers are preparing for a lengthy absence. All things considered, the Lakers have played quite well without James. Si...

Anthony Davis injury update: Lakers star to return Wednesday after missing nearly six weeks, per report

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis will return to the lineup Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs barring any setbacks in his pre-game warmups, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. Davis has been out since Dec. 16, when he suffered a stress reaction in his right foot while also fracturing a bone spur. Davis will be on a minutes restriction of 20-24 minutes, according to McMenamin. Davis was playing arguably the best basketball of his career before he got hurt. He is averaging 27.4 points and 12.1 rebounds per Game for the Lakers, but more importantly, he managed to drag them out of the bottom the standings after they started the season 2-10. From that moment, at which point LeBron James was injured, Davis led the Lakers to a 9-6 record up until his injury . He averaged roughly 33 points per Game in that stretch if you exclude the two Game s he left early . Davis carried the Lakers when James was out, bu...
