Miami Heat star LeBron James is reportedly expecting to recover from a swollen nose in time to face the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night.
The 29-year-old sustained the injury in his team's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday, as he was caught in the face by Serge Ibaka when driving to the basket.
It is understood that the medical staff are waiting for the swelling to go down before making a decision, as it was not immediately clear if James had broken his nose or not, ESPN reports.
Miami have closed the gap to the Indiana Pacers at the top of the Eastern Conference, and now have the advantage of 17 of their final 29 games being at home.
