There was only one way to begin a podcast about the Los Angeles Lakers today: By discussing the news that LeBron James will be out for at least the next two games while he deals with some ankle soreness, and has seen a specialist about the injury.
So that’s exactly where today’s episode of “The 30” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — begins, with hosts Anthony Irwin and Jas Kang discussing the big news before diving into the next logical question it leads to: With the Lakers hanging on to the sixth-seed by a thread, is it more important to avoid the play-in tournament, or get into the postseason as healthy as can be?
