The basketball world missed Stephen Curry.

The two-time Most Valuable Player made his long-awaited return to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors after missing the previous four months due to a broken left hand.

In Curry’s return to the court, fellow stars around the league were watching. While LeBron James has had his battles with the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers’ MVP candidate reached out in support of Curry Thursday night.

James posted on social media he was happy to see Curry back in his “sanctuary.”

Via @KingJames on Twitter:

In Golden State’s 121-113 loss to the Raptors, Curry dropped 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting from the field and 3-of-12 from long distance. The Golden State point guard added seven assists and seven rebounds in 27 minutes in his first game since injuring his hand.

James and Curry will reunite across from each other for the first time this season when the Warriors travel to the Staples Center in Los Angeles on April 7.

LeBron breaks out the purple and gold ‘Lake Show’ Nike LeBron 17 colorway in Atlanta

LeBron James breaks out the purple and gold ‘Lake Show’ Nike LeBron 17 colorway in Atlanta for Los Angeles Lakers matchup with Hawks.

LeBron James’ high school teammate, Romeo Travis, posted a picture of LeBron and his Fab Five crew from St. Vincent-St. Mary following their alma mater’s ESPN matchup with Bronny James and Sierra Canyon on Saturday. In the photo that Travis shared on Twitter, LeBron was the only person not wearing his signature sneaker.

When it came time to tip-off against the Hawks in Atlanta on Sunday, however, King James was back on brand. LeBron took the floor against Trae Young and company wearing a purple and gold colorway of his recently released LeBron 17’s. The shoe is decorated in various shades of purple and features a gold tongue, gold laces and gold swoosh on the sole. It is also a near perfect match with the away uniforms that James and the Lakers were rocking in the ATL.

Through three quarters on the road against the Hawks, LeBron has totaled 26 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. Superstar teammate Anthony Davis has scored 21 points and collected nine boards while helping the Lakers build an 82-78 lead heading into the final period. Young has 23 points and seven assists for a Hawks team that continues to compete. Los Angeles had previously led by seven points at halftime.
