Fox Sports' Skip Bayless sent out a Tweet daring LeBron James to make his return on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. For Bayless, this would somehow give the Los Angeles Lakers superstar more credibility if he came back during that contest.
LEBRON: I DARE YOU TO PLAY YOUR FIRST GAME SINCE DEC. 25 BACK AT GOLDEN STATE, WHERE THE WARRIORS WILL WANT REVENGE FOR CHRISTMAS DAY AGAINST YOU ON AN IFFY GROIN AND IN IFFY SHAPE AND THEM WITH DCOUSINS NOW. IF YOU TRY THIS, I WILL BE HUGELY IMPRESSED. GOOD LUCK, KING.

Skip Bayless has always seemed to be very critical of LeBron James. Everything James does is under Bayless' microscope. Whether he has a poor night, a free agent decision, or even just a simple Instagram post, Bayless almost seems to have it out for James.
James, for the past month or so, has been out with a left quad strain. It's been the first major injury of his career, the first time he's been out for extended time. His camp has made it clear that he will take all the time he needs to be fully recovered.
In the meantime, the Lakers have been playing .500 ball without James. The pressure has gone on Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, and Brandon Ingram to carry the team in his absence. Some nights it works, other nights they're blown out. The Lakers really need James back in his full form ready to go.
There have also been rumors circulating that the Lakers will be looking to acquire a star at the deadline. Someone who could play next to James and take the Lakers deep into the playoffs. For the most part, Anthony Davis has been on the tip of everyone's tongue. He had told the New Orleans Pelicans that he would like to be traded just earlier this past week.
Hopefully, James will come back and fully recovered ready to take the Lakers to a playoff run in no time.
