The Los Angeles Lakers are resting LeBron James in the middle quarters, and five-time NBA champion Derek Fisher is loving the adjustment. James missed the first 14 games with an injury and did not look like a superstar in his first six contests back. It had fans wondering if the end was near for the 41-year-old, but he is playing better after a subtle change.
JJ Redick altered the rotation of his stars with Austin Reaves out. He has Luka Doncic playing shorter stints, and LeBron getting longer ones. King James comes out midway through every quarter, which allows him to stay fresh and still play massive minutes.
