LeBron James "getting better" every day

LeBron James has revealed that his back has been "getting better" every day.

The Miami Heat forward, who has been hampered with a back injury in the early part of the season, scored 33 points during the team's 118-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks last night.

The 28-year-old told reporters: "It's getting better. It feels a lot better. Still a little sore, getting a lot of work put on it so I can get to 100%. But it's getting better every day and that's a good thing."

The Heat currently sit second in their conference with a 5-3 record.
