LeBron James returns to lineup Friday vs. Pelicans

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

The New Orleans Pelicans will be in tough on Friday night, as LeBron James will be available to play despite dealing with an ailing knee.

James missed the Cavaliers' contest Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who managed to snap Cleveland's run of eight-consecutive victories.

Both James and the Cavaliers are coming on strong of late. James's numbers remain pedestrian as compared to his normal level of production, but the 30-year-old forward is still averaging 24.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7.7 assists on the year.
