After all the fanfare and excitement over LeBron James and his summer of free agency, the time for him to officially make his on-court return to the Cleveland Cavaliers came on Sunday.

The Cavaliers hosted the Maccabi Tel Aviv in their preseason debut, and James was in the starting lineup. 

James got to work right away, opening the Cavaliers' season with a deep 3-pointer for the team's first points of the game. 

James scored 12 points to go along with four assists and four rebounds in just over 19 minutes. He sat and watched for the entirety of the second half.
