Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel announced Tuesday that LeBron James and Anthony Davis are unlikely to play in the team's preseason opener on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported that Vogel has not made the final decision on whether or not his star players will be available for Friday.
"We haven't made that decision yet, but I will say it's probably unlikely that they play," Vogel said.
Recently, Davis and James signed new contracts to keep them with the franchise. Davis signed a five-year contract worth $190 million to return to Los Angeles on Dec.
