The NBA is officially back in session, and LeBron James' back looks just fine, thank you very much.
In the first quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers' season opener against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night, James - whose status for the game was in doubt after he took an anti-inflammatory injection in his back - burned Jimmy Butler on a baseline cut, took a lovely lob feed from Kevin Love, and finished with a deft reverse layup.
James and Love didn't play together all preseason, thanks to both James' ailing back and Love's recovery from shoulder surgery, but they seem to be clicking just fine in the early going.
