It’s LeBron James and the South Bay Lakers taking on the Boston Celtics tonight on ABC!
While the above sentence would have been uttered no matter what tonight, it appears that it will be useful for much more time tonight. In addition to being without Brandon Ingram for the rest of the season, the Lakers will also be without Kyle Kuzma when they take on Kyrie Irving and the Celtics.
Kuzma injured his right ankle earlier this week when the Lakers played against the Los Angeles Clippers.
In addition to the injuries, LeBron James is already seeing his minutes cut and see them cut even further. After averaging over 38 minutes per game during his return from injury, James played only 31 minutes on Wednesday.
This is where I’m obligated to tell you the Lakers are three games behind the Mavericks in the loss column to get a projected top-7 pick, according to Tankathon.
