Good news if you’re a Lakers fan.  LeBron James is one step closer to making his return from the groin injury that has kept him out of the lineup since Christmas.  The Lakers announced on Wednesday, that their star has been cleared to return to practice next week.

There still isn’t a timetable for his return to game action, but when you’re dealing with a groin injury you take things slowly.  That’s not something you want to re-injure.

Good news for LeBron, there’s more time to drink wine all day.  He will absolutely be doing that until he gets back on the practice floor.
