For the first time since suffering a groin strain on Christmas Day against the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena, Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James put some shots up at the team's practice facility, according to Lakers head coach Luke Walton.

It's been exactly one week since LeBron James strained his groin. It is still unknown when the four-time league MVP will return to game action for LA.

In his first season in Los Angeles, LeBron James is averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. The King is shooting 51.8 percent from the field, 35.6 percent from beyond the arc and 68.2 percent from the free-throw line.
