Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James, Anthony Davis to sit out vs. Charlotte Hornets
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been ruled out Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets.

Embiid's impressive streak of four straight games with at least 35 points and 10 rebounds ended. But even his relatively quiet night -- which also featured nine rebounds, seven assists and two blocked shots -- was plenty for a Sixers team that drained 13 three-pointers to the Lakers' six from beyond the arc. "I was not very good tonight, so I was happy my teammates were able to pick me up," said Embiid, who did take his streak of games with at least 25 points to 16 straight. With four-time NBA Most Valuable Player James, second in the league in scoring with 29.1 points per game, sidelined with a sore left knee, Anthony Davis did what he could to pick up the slack for the Lakers. Davis, playing his second game since missing 17 with a sprained knee, scored 31 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for the Lakers in an impressive, aggressive performance. But he had little support. Russell Westbrook added 20 points, but the remaining three Lakers starters combined for just 15. Davis also got a scare, hurting his right wrist in the first half and playing with it taped the rest of the game. "Anthony played a hell of a game on both sides of the ball," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. "It was good to see him get a rhythm. (He) made some terrific plays on Embiid." Vogel admitted it was frustrating to again find himself unable to get his star duo of James and Davis on the court at the same time.
Vuelve Davis, vuelven los Lakers
Las opiniones fluctúan mucho durante una regular season, pero en el caso de los Lakers quedaba poco margen para pensar en positivo. Y las cosas, claro, siguen siendo así, pero quizá (solo quizá), los angelinos estén ante su última gran oportunidad para convertirse en algo parecido a un equipo de baloncesto. Y, de paso, cambiar las tornas de la opinión pública, ese lugar en el que se ganan y se pierden las batallas que deciden las guerras. Por algo habrá que empezar, al menos para ellos: con menos de la mitad de la temporada por delante y el calendario más difícil de la competición, solo un milagro puede hacer que los Lakers pasen de ser un equipo objetivamente malo a un aspirante. Algo difícil, improbable, casi imposible. Pero, si hay una remota opción de que eso acabe siendo así, pasa por Anthony Davis. Y no es que los Lakers hayan vuelto, ya que nunca han estado. Pero con su regreso hemos visto algún retazo de lo que fueron en el anillo de 2020. De lo que podrían llegar a ser. En fin, por algo se empieza.
