Lakers star LeBron James shares workout update weeks after sustaining MCL injury in playoff loss
Almost two months after his knee injury, LeBron James is back on the court. The Los Angeles Lakers star shared a video of a workout in New York on Instagram on Monday, which came roughly eight weeks after he sustained an MCL injury in the playoffs. 'Obviously not where I wanna be ultimately but off to a good start,' he wrote, in part. 'Damn what a GREAT FEELING!!' Advertisement James went down in the Lakers' elimination loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the playoffs after he collided with Donte DiVincenzo. James briefly left the game, but returned to finish it out. The Lakers ended up losing 103-96 . James averaged 24.4 points and 8.2 assists in 70 games last season with the Lakers while earning his 21st All-Star nod. The Lakers, however, fell in the opening round of the playoffs for a second straight season. James has yet to comment on his plans for next season, though many expect that he'll opt-in to a $52.2 million player option and return to the Lakers. That would mark his 23rd season in the league. His deadline to pick up that option is June 29. Advertisement While Monday's video doesn't confirm that by any means, at least playing again in some form doesn't hurt.

Mick Ralphs, founding member of Bad Company and Mott the Hoople, dies at 81
Mick Ralphs, singer, songwriter guitarist and founding member of the classic British rock bands Bad Company and Mott the Hoople, has died. A statement posted to the band's official website Monday announced Ralphs' death at age 81. Ralphs had a stroke days after what would be his final performance with Bad Company at London's O2 Arena in 2016, and had been bedridden ever since, the statement said. No further details on the circumstances of his death were provided. Ralphs is set to become a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Bad Company in November. 'Our Mick has passed, my heart just hit the ground," Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers said in a statement. 'He has left us with exceptional songs and memories. He was my friend, my songwriting partner, an amazing and versatile guitarist who had the greatest sense of humour.' Ralphs wrote 1970's 'Ready for Love' for Mott the Hoople, later revamped for Bad Company's 1974 debut album, which also included the Ralphs-penned hit 'Can't Get Enough.' He co-wrote Bad Company's 1975 'Feel Like Makin' Love' with Rodgers. Born in Stoke Lacy, Herefordshire, England, Ralphs began playing blues guitar as a teenager, and in his early 20s in 1966, he co-founded the Doc Thomas Group. The band would become Mott the Hoople in 1969. He left the group in 1973, soon after it found commercial success with the David Bowie-penned-and-produced 'All the Young Dudes." He would form Bad Company with singer Rodgers, who had left his own band, Free. They would be joined by Free drummer Simon Kirke and former King Crimson bassist and vocalist Boz Burrell.
