LeBron James is Hurting. Anthony Davis is Healing. The Lakers are Reeling.
Monday, Frank Vogel all but said LeBron James won't play Tuesday night thanks to the bum ankle he turned Sunday in New Orleans. Anthony Davis, however, practiced and while he (like James) is listed as doubtful for tonight in Dallas, there's a chance he'll be back on the floor perhaps as early as Thursday (in Utah) or Friday (at home vs. the Pellies).
But as this season moves relentlessly to what seems like an inevitably disappointing conclusion, it's worth asking how much it's worth getting either back on the floor. Does LeBron risk using up whatever physical juice he has left in a way that could impact next season, too? Could he be compounding injuries in a way that might carry forward? Does Davis have important reasons to play, even if it ultimately doesn't amount to much for the Lakers as a group?
And why should anyone on this team get to avoid the public embarrassment of losing in the play-in?
Plus... Vogel says he's disappointed the Lakers haven't been able to help build on LeBron's legacy over the last two seasons, and reminds everyone that he cares about that sort of thing much more than Lakers fans. And finally, Lakers social media has a big following, but they may be making a critical error.
