Opportunity chaser, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reveals LeBron James real returning reason

Los Angeles Lakers are in their final seven games for the regular season, and now they have almost their complete roster, as just Mo Bamba is not available and will continue to be out because of his injury.

LeBron James is playing still injured, but he has been able to make a comeback and already got his first minutes on the court this past Sunday night against the Bulls.

Tonight he will be playing again, even when he is listed as questionable, but it has been said that he will play in the rematch vs. Chicago. Now, ESPN's sports expert Brian Windhorst has revealed the reason behind LeBron's earlier return date.

According to the ESPN expert Windhorst, "LeBron is coming back on a bad foot because he smells weakness in the western conference." Brian said that also Durant and Curry smell it. So there it is; LeBron is back because he thinks the Lakers have a chance to win the West.

The last seven games are must-win for LeBron and the Lakers

If James is serious about contending for a title this year and taking advantage of a weak conference, every game from here on out should be considered a must-win. LA has seven games left on its 2022-23 regular season schedule, and four games are against teams currently projected to either be in the playoffs or play in the tournament.
