Lakers forwards LeBron James and Anthony Davis decided not to play against the Nets. According to information from the club, James will be hampered by pain in his left ankle, and Davis needs time to recover from a stress fracture in his right foot.
Also not playing for the Lakers is Austin Reeves, who pulled a hamstring in his left leg.
Davis missed five and a half weeks due to a fractured bone spur in his right scaphoid and a stress reaction and is currently playing with a time limit. In the match with Boston, he ran 34 minutes.
James should overtake Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in career points in the coming weeks. He has 116 points to go. Against the Celtics, James played 44 minutes and had 41 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists.
