News broke earlier this week that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James entered the NBA's health and safety protocols after testing positive for COVID-19, and would therefore have to miss several games.
However, there's been a brand new development. He's since turned in eight negative COVID-19 tests, and will be back on the court Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Just in: Lakers star LeBron James has been cleared from health and safety protocols to return on Friday vs. Clippers, after testing positive but since registering multiple negative COVID-19 tests, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
