The Los Angeles Lakers sat LeBron James on the second night of a back-to-back, and it was clear they don’t have enough talent around Luka Doncic to seriously contend. The Spurs picked up the 107-91 victory on their home floor. Number 77 had 38 points and ten assists, but he was LA’s offense. The Lakers had nothing going when he sat, and that is a problem for a team hoping to win a championship.
Head coach JJ Redick is managing King James closely to try to maximize the 41-year-old. The Lakers were also without Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and Adou Thiero on Wednesday night.
