Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James will play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.

James didn't play in the Lakers' last game versus the Golden State Warriors so he could rest his groin injury:

LeBron has appeared in 54 games for the Lakers this season. He's averaging 25.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 10.6 assists while shooting 49.4 percent from the field, 34.9 percent from beyond the arc and 69.1 percent from the free-throw line.

Los Angeles has the best record in the Western Conference. They are 45-12. James not only leads the NBA in assists per game, but The King is playing like an MVP now that he’s healthy again.

After missing the playoffs last season for the first time since his second year in the league, James sat back and heard all these pundits slander his name this past summer.  As he always does, James took the high road and just focused on what he can control.

With Anthony Davis by his side this season, James and the Lakers have been deadly all year.
