Lakers' LeBron James: Remains weeks away from return

James (ankle) is believed to be weeks away from a return to the court, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Head coach Frank Vogel noted that James has recently progressed to "light work," but he still isn't all that close to gaining full clearance. The Lakers will undoubtedly take the proper steps to ensure James is at full health prior to clearing him, and at this point in time, a specific return date has not yet been identified.
