LeBron James to monitor injured right foot
LeBron James sustained a right foot injury late in the third quarter in Sunday’s 111-108 win against the Dallas Mavericks but was able to finish out the game and help the Los Angeles Lakers pull off the biggest comeback victory in the NBA this season. “It’s been better,” James said when asked about his foot afterward. “That’s for sure. But I definitely wasn’t going to go to the locker room and not finish the game out tonight. Just understood the importance of the game, and then with the momentum that we had, I felt like we could still win after being down. “We’ll monitor it the next couple days, see how it feels and go from there.”

Luka Doncic on LeBron James: “It’s unbelievable what he’s doing at 38. 20 seasons in the NBA is just unbelievable. He’s the scoring leader, he has accomplished almost everything that you can accomplish in basketball, so it’s pretty amazing to play against a guy like him.” pic.twitter.com/4fC6mXuQjC – 9:00 AM

Found myself watching LeBron, Luka, Kyrie and Trae last night and thinking the ability to go from start-stop-start is maybe the most underrated skill to create space.

Wilt Chamberlain scored 50+ points in 118 games throughout his NBA career.
That’s more 50-point games than Michael Jordan (31), Kobe Bryant (25), James Harden (23), Damian Lillard (15), LeBron James (14) and Kevin Durant (9) combined 😳 pic.twitter.com/SAAsSKZfVa – 12:39 AM

There were a lot of reasons the Lakers won that game. I think this is the most important:
LeBron James and Anthony Davis were great in the fourth quarter and Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving weren’t.
