LeBron James completed his first on-court workout since sustaining a knee injury and reported feeling great afterward.

In a recent session, James sprinted up and down the court and performed multiple dunks, demonstrating solid physical condition. The workout served as a positive indicator that he has not experienced setbacks in his recovery.

Coaches observed that James looked strong and sharp during the workout. Team officials noted that he could return to play as early as the upcoming game against the Chicago Bulls, depending on continued progress.

James sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain on May 1 but remained active during his recovery by focusing on upper-body strength and using a stationary bike to maintain conditioning.

The Lakers are closely monitoring his recovery and evaluating his readiness for game action. His return would provide a boost to the team as they prepare for the next phase of the season.
