There’s a basketball game to be played inside Smoothie King Center later today, but when the New Orleans Pelicans (32-45) tip off against the Los Angeles Lakers (34-42) at 5 p.m. Central, lets hope Anthony Davis will not be in uniform.
Yesterday afternoon, the Lakers organization announced LeBron James would be shut down for the rest of the season.
The reason given for this decision was shrouded as a medical one.
“After consulting with our team doctors and medical staff, we have decided to hold LeBron out of games for the remainder of the season,” Lakers president Magic Johnson and general manager Rob Pelinka said in a statement.
