The Lakers had a rarity on Tuesday, not just blowing a team out as they did the Nets but doing it on the first night of a back-to-back. The win gave the Lakers the luxury of sitting LeBron James and Anthony Davis for effectively the entire fourth quarter.
The result could be very beneficial for the Lakers. With a game in Washington to wrap up the road trip on Wednesday, head coach Darvin Ham postgame said the early prognosis is that both could be available for that game.
“We’ll see how they feel when they wake up in the morning,” Ham said. “In all likelihood, I’m sure they’ll play.”
LeBron himself spoke about his status postgame as well, but didn’t offer much more insight yet.
