The Lakers recalled James from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday.
James rejoined the parent club following a productive two-game stretch in the G League in which he totaled 46 points on 19-for-43 shooting from the field (44.2 percent), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 51 total minutes. He was active for Sunday's 116-110 win over the Grizzlies but didn't crack the rotation.
