While the Los Angeles Lakers came away with an impressive blowout win over the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, Oracle Arena has been something of a house of horrors for the team.
LeBron James suffered his strained groin in the impressive victory and proceeded to miss nearly six weeks, and Rajon Rondo suffered a sprained finger that same night which required surgery. The Lakers were back up north on Saturday night, and received news James was a late scratch.
He logged 40 minutes in his return against the Clippers, and was given a night off because of lingering soreness.
