During Wednesday night’s nationally televised game between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans in Anthony Davis’ return to the Big Easy, fans had a brief scare when it comes to LeBron James. But a scare is all it was.
During a drive in the second quarter of Wednesday’s game, LeBron collided with his former Lakers teammate Josh Hart and he appeared to bang his left knee into Hart’s thigh. James was on the ground in pain for a few seconds and was subbed out of the game before getting checked out by his trainer Mike Mancias for a few minutes.

It wouldn’t be long for James, however, as he checked back into the action to finish the first half after the brief scare.
As for the game itself, Anthony Davis is having a monstrous offensive performance with 27 first half points but it isn’t resulting the way the Lakers would hope as they trail 64-54 at halftime. LeBron had 12 points and four assists while Jrue Holiday had 25 points for New Orleans.
