At 10:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 2, the Lakers will sit at home to meet the Pelicans. It is also one of the Lakers' main competitors to advance to the playoffs. With only 6 games left in the regular season, this game is already a life-and-death battle.
Before this game, the Lakers had a lot of news. Lakers coach Vogel revealed before the game that Anthony Davis will return in this game. Anthony Davis, who has been out of action since his injury on Feb. 16, is good news for the Lakers to be able to make a comeback before the end of the regular season.
In addition to this, Vogel also said that James "really decided before the game" whether to return or not. Judging from the team's injury report, James (sprained left ankle) is in doubt. James sprained his left ankle during the March 28 away game against the Pelicans. James then missed two consecutive games for the team. Whether James can return today depends entirely on the feeling of the ankle before the game.
Thick eyebrows comeback, James may also play, which is good news for the Lakers. In addition to this, the Lakers also have bad news, that is, Anthony will miss this game due to non-new crown illness, and he will not appear in the arena with the team today. So far this season, Anthony has made 67 appearances for the Lakers, averaging 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1 assist in 26 minutes per game. He is an important firepower point on the Lakers' bench, and his absence is bound to affect the Lakers' bench firepower.
