When Reaves asked James what his tomorrow looked like while they were returning from a four-game stand, James said, as Austin tells us, “I’ll get up. I don’t know he didn’t say a time He’s like,’ I’ll do some treatment at 10. Then I’ll probably get a massage at 11. Eat.’ He just kept going on about treatment stuff; he was like, ‘I’m going to lay in my whatever the chamber is,’ I was just like, ‘So your day is treatment’ and he was like, ‘Yeah pretty much’ I was like,’ All right cool.'”
