Coach Frank Vogel says James (ankle) and Davis (midfoot sprain) will be reevaluated on Thursday to determine if they can play against the Utah Jazz that night.
Acknowledging the seriousness of James’ injury, Vogel called it: “the latest, and maybe biggest, blow to our psyche.”
Without James and Davis, the Lakers were without their two leading scorers , rebounders and shot-blockers . Entering Tuesday night, the Lakers were 0-2 this season in games in which both Davis and James sat out. “The playoffs start for other teams whenever the actual regular season ends, but every game matters for us right now, so there’s a playoff series element to these final games,” he said. “And you start talking about what the mindset is, the intensity is just a notch higher, the focus has to be a notch higher.”
