The Los Angeles Lakers have revealed their starting lineup for tonight’s away game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a tough 127-125 loss to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks last night, while San Antonio is the more experienced squad.

All-Star power forward LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers will sit tonight after scoring 33 points in 40 minutes last night. It turns out that backup power forward Jarred Vanderbilt and center Anthony Davis, who were both doubtful to play (Vanderbilt didn’t play in Tuesday’s game against Dallas), will actually play.

The Athletic’s Jovan Buha has spilled the beans on how Los Angeles head coach Darvin Ham plans to handle the loss of The Chosen One in the starting lineup. Los Angeles will start newly-singled power forward Rui Hachimura. At the five-point line, he will be joining Davis, small forward Cam Reddish, point guard D’Angelo Russell, and shooting guard Taurean Prince, all of whom are incumbents.

 

 

 LA Makes Smart Decision For LeBron James Vs Spurs

Not having superstar forward LeBron James for their 25th game of the season is a major setback for the Los Angeles Lakers. Shams Charania, an NBA insider, was one of the first to report on it.

Because of the bruιse in his left leg, James is not expected to play. But the fact that it is the second game in as many days is more likely to explain James’s absence; he played 40 minutes in last night’s 127-125 away loss to the Dallas Mavericks. In their setback, the 38-year-old scored 33 points while grabbing eight boards and dishing out nine assists. With a record of 3-19 and a losing skid of 16 games under their belt, the purple and gold don’t require the superstar.

Usually, teams give it their all when playing the Lakers; hopefully, tonight’s game against a bottom-feeder team will be different. Even if we won’t get to witness Victor Wembanyama take on James, our purple and gold should still come out on top. But let’s not be too convinced just yet; this squad has a knack for us. With James out for the second game in a row, Los Angeles will be aiming for their 15th victory of the year.
