Sources Confirm LeBron James, Anthony Davis To Play On Christmas Game

The Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Clippers on Christmas Day. It’s a highly-anticipated game and Lakers fans are worried. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are injured, and that may change the future development of the season. We have some good news for pretty much everyone who is concerned about the duo.

League sources confirmed that the king of basketball and his superstar teammate will suit up for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers. LeBron missed one game for the first time in the regular season Sunday due to a thoracic muscle strain and discomfort in his groin. Davis tweaked his knee in the loss to the Denver Nuggets.

The mighty duo will prepare for the first game against the fully formed Clippers. Their opponents will have both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the floor.

The Lakers completed a stint of 12 out of 15 road games. The team practiced Monday, but both LeBron and Davis were held out of on-court participation.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel complained about the team’s lack of practice time. According to him, this may be a reason for the three-game losing streak.

“We went a 10-day trip without a single practice, really,” Vogel said Monday. “One shootaround, I think. Sometimes that benefits your legs, but usually it leads to a little bit of slippage in your execution and togetherness, particularly on the defensive end.”

The atmosphere at Staples Center will be pretty hot. Playing the Clippers is quite a challenge, but both LeBron and Davis can do that. The duo is trying to win a title, remember?

“It’s a little bit like the playoffs,” Vogel said. “You want to be jacked up. But sometimes the best mental approach to the playoffs is managing your adrenaline and managing the edge. But let’s start with the edge first. Bring the juice first. If we’re overboard with it, we can always pull back. But you don’t want to be it the other way around. And it won’t be.”

The Lakers will try to win this game. LeBron will get a chance to prove to everyone that he is better than Leonard.
