It was reported by Dan Woike of the LA Times on Monday that James had been recalled ahead of the Lakers’ game against the Charlotte Hornets that evening. While James did not receive any minutes in the 112-107 win over Charlotte, he did crack JJ Redick’s rotation in the first quarter on Tuesday.
With the Lakers down Gabe Vincent, Jalen Hood-Schifino and Jarred Vanderbilt against the Philadelphia 76ers, James moved up the depth chart. Receiving his first rotation minutes since opening night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, James had a rough first stint.
Playing four minutes and 33 seconds in the first quarter, James missed his only field goal attempt while recording one turnover. The Lakers were outscored by nine points in his minutes, which had a lot to do with 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey scoring multiple times over James.
