The Indiana Pacers beat the Los Angeles Lakers 136-94 on Tuesday night, sweeping the back-to-back against teams currently engaged in a high-stakes game of posturing in the daily chaos that is the Anthony Davis-trade saga.
Whereas the Pelicans’ front office prevented Davis from making his return from a finger injury against the Pacers on Monday, LeBron James returned to action after sitting out the prior game for load management.
Turns out, that didn’t matter so much — at least not with him playing with a roster full of players who have heard their names in trade rumors all week.
