More on this storyline
James’ preseason arc mirrored his showing during summer league play at the California Classic and in Las Vegas, when he took his lumps at first before scoring in double digits in his last two games, helping L.A. to two wins. “[It gives me] just a little bit of confidence going into the season even though I might not be in that rotation, might not be playing, but just going into practice, maybe G League games with that confidence in myself to go out there and play my game,” James said. “I feel like that’s the biggest part of it.” -via ESPN / October 19, 2024
