📅 On this day in 1962, the @Los Angeles Lakers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West became the first teammates in NBA history to each score at least 40 points in the same playoff game.
The feat has been accomplished five times since, most recently by Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday (April 21, 2018). pic.twitter.com/xnsoFn3FFF2:01 PM

#Lakers‘ embracing the win-now approach may lead them to a foolish mistake with Anthony Davis.

“The only thing they’re getting is the 8th seed. If they somehow get that, they get the #Suns, who are beasts. Beasts. I respect LeBron and AD. I just don’t see how you’re beating them 4 out of 7.”

San Antonio takes care of business in Houston and moves to 31-44 on the season, just a half-game behind the Lakers.
If the Lakers lose in Dallas tomorrow night (both LeBron and AD are doubtful), the Spurs move into 10th place in the Western Conference. – 10:26 PM

Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are doubtful in Dallas. For two seasons now, the Lakers have struggled to keep their star duo on the court together: ocregister.com/2022/03/28/lak…8:28 PM

– Anthony Davis completed his first full practice since his injury (Feb. 16), and responded well. He’s doubtful to play Tues. at DAL as he ramps up conditioning.
– LeBron is also doubtful due to the ankle he sprained at NOP, but will be evaluated prior to the game as usual. – 6:08 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
The Lakers list LeBron James (left ankle sprain) and Anthony Davis (right mid-foot sprain) as doubtful for tomorrow’s game in Dallas.
Dwight Howard (hip soreness) is probable. – 6:00 PM

More on this storyline

Jake Fischer on a potential Anthony Davis trade: I don’t think they will (trade him) at all, from what I’ve been told and the fact that what they gave up to New Orleans to get him… I mean the Lakers went all in on pairing Anthony Davis with the Bron for as long as that pairing could stand and I’d be shocked if it came to a close this offseason. -via marcstein.substack.com / March 26, 2022
With that in mind, one NBA front office executive recently told Heavy that he believes Boston could put forward a package to acquire the Los Angeles Lakers‘ Anthony Davis and that the deal wouldn’t need to include Celtics star Jayson Tatum. “It was no secret Danny wanted him (in 2019). He would have given up Tatum in a heartbeat for AD. They wanted to offer Brown, but it would have come down to Tatum. And he would have done it in the end, I think. Now the Lakers would want Tatum back, but there is no way the Celtics do that. “But put AD in a deal with Horton-Tucker for Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Aaron Nesmith? The Lakers would have to consider that. I’d take it,” said the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. -via Heavy.com / March 1, 2022
“They (the Lakers) made such an effort to bring AD to that team. And if they are going to deal him, they would only send him where he wants to be. And I just don’t think Boston would ever be a team on his list,” the executive told Heavy. Obviously, when trading for a franchise cornerstone talent, keeping the player happy is always a gamble. Some players value winning; others prefer to be in a city that offers them opportunities outside of basketball. It’s unclear what Davis values or what teams he would have an interest in joining should he, or the Lakers, decide to move on. -via Heavy.com / March 1, 2022
