He said he was “a little sore, a little tight” Tuesday morning, following his first practice in a while on Monday, though his highly public jaunt from Phoenix to Dallas for Ohio State’s national championship victory Monday night would seem to indicate he intends to play.
“It’s the most difficult thing I’ve been through,” he said.
James also said “I hated the fact that we were playing some decent ball when I went out and we just dropped a lot of games when I went out. Hopefully if I can make it back tonight or very soon we can get back to our winning ways.”
