The four-time NBA champion teased his return to the lineup via Instagram, captioning a workout video with, "Coming soon to a city near you."

James hasn't played since March 20 after suffering a high-ankle sprain. Los Angeles is 7-11 in his absence.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported over the weekend that James could return as early as next week.
The 36-year-old is averaging 25.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game this season while shooting 51.3% from the field and 36.8% from deep. He was in MVP contention before suffering the injury.
