According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the team is now expecting James to debut his 23rd season in mid-November.

"I'm told that the Lakers and LeBron are looking around mid-November as a realistic debut for him," Charania said on NBA Today. "And so, October 30th would be the earliest that the Lakers would be officially re-evaluating LeBron James."
"It is expected he will need at least a few weeks after that point."

According to the NBA Insider, only after James achieves the conditioning to appear for games will he make his comeback.

Previously, Lakers coach JJ Redick said that LeBron James had yet to participate in the training camp. Redick added that the team was ready to push the first month of the season with the 4x champion, as James was being careful with the injury.
