Lakers News: LeBron James Out Tonight vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

Published by

The Los Angeles Lakers will look to get a win on Saturday night, but they’ll face the challenge of trying to do so without LeBron James.

On Saturday morning, it was reported that James will miss the upcoming game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder with a cold.

James has been battling an illness lately, and it looks like the team is going him to give some much-needed rest this evening.

On Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks, James powered the Lakers to a 129-114 win. He recorded 35 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists in the game.

Superstar big man Anthony Davis missed Friday’s game with a back injury. It’s looking like the Lakers may be without both James and Davis tonight.

If that scenario comes to pass, it will be fascinating to see what kind of performance the Lakers put up without their two star leaders.
