On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Phoenix Suns in California for their second preseason game.

LeBron James missed Friday's 124-107 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he made his debut on Sunday against the Suns.

During the first half, James had a huge highlight that went viral on social media.

He came from behind and swatted Devin Booker's shot out of play.

1) Austin Reaves gets dusted, Anthony Davis rotates to help, LeBron makes the next rotation and blocks Mason Plumlee
2) Devin Booker blows by the defense & LeBron recovers to swat his s**t into the stands

Year 22"
