Saturday, after Cavaliers practice in Independence, Ohio, James said that while "we knew eventually it would happen," no one knew it would be this fast.
"But I think it’s great for our league," James said. "It’s great for the fans of Indiana, for sure, to have him back there, and I know that it’s a great feeling for himself. He probably had many dreams, or nightmares, about the incident that had happened and to see him being back on the floor Sunday, I think it’s a pretty good thing."
James was even more emphatic when asked about expectations.
"You shouldn’t ask much out of him at all," James said. "Be excited about him being back out on the floor and seeing him back in a uniform, but to ask of him what he was capable doing last year right now, I think is unfair."
