LeBron James has slammed reports that a target date has been set for a return to action following the ankle injury he sustained in February.

The Los Angeles Lakers star has not played since picking up the injury against Dallas, with various reports suggesting he could be in line to return before the end of the regular season.

However James hit back at those claims on Twitter on Thursday, saying: “There wasn’t an evaluation today and there hasn’t been any target date for my return. I’m just working around the clock, every day (3X a day) to give myself to best chance of coming back full strength whenever that is. God bless y’all sources. I speak for myself!”
