Frank Vogel had what appears to be a positive update on LeBron:
“His rehab is progressing nicely … this does not seem like it’s (going to be) an extended stretch.”
LeBron will miss a 5th straight game tonight, but Vogel added that he’s “Truly day-to-day.” – 8:50 PM

Jalen Green, according to @David Thorpe, is like a young LeBron James–but with Jordan Clarkson’s shot selection. With @jshector on BRING IT IN, they also discussed Ben Simmons and the doctors, and the Warriors’ knockout punch. truehoop.com/p/bring-it-in-…3:19 PM

Lakers’ injury report for tomorrow against Minnesota:
— LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Kendrick Nunn, Talen Horton-Tucker and Trevor Ariza are out
— Rajon Rondo (left hamstring strain) and Sekou Doumboya & Jay Huff (two-way contracts) are questionable
— Anthony Davis is probable pic.twitter.com/qOtuQSIkTV6:45 PM

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
It’s early, but if you’re putting together a list of West All-Stars:
Jokić, Steph, PG, Ja, Gobert, and CP3 are probably locks.
LeBron and AD will be voted in. So will Mitchell probably. Probably Booker too.
You can make an argument for Draymond and Barton as wildcards. – 6:32 PM

James Harden last night:
✅ 17 PTS
✅ 11 REB
✅ 11 AST
Harden became the fourth player in NBA history to record at least 15 triple-doubles for multiple franchises:
✅ Jason Kidd (DAL-PHX-BKN)
✅ LeBron James (CLE-LAL)
✅ Russell Westbrook (OKC-WAS)
✅ Harden (HOU-BKN) pic.twitter.com/BdJd4xHZ9c10:01 AM

Anthony Edwards last night:
✅ 48 PTS
✅ 5 REB
✅ 5 AST
It’s the second time Edwards has recorded at least 40p/5r/5a in a game.
He’s the fourth player in NBA history with multiple such games before his 21st birthday:
7 – LeBron James
4 – Luka Doncic
2 – John Drew
2 – Edwards pic.twitter.com/w1Kqb4I70x9:01 AM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Final (OT): Lakers 120, Heat 117
The Lakers improve to 7-5. This was LA’s most impressive win of the season considering no LeBron + the opponent (even w/ Jimmy Butler exiting early). Anthony Davis had 24 points & 13 rebounds. Malik Monk had 27.
Up next: vs. Minnesota on Friday. – 1:03 AM
Bill Oram @billoram
Win of the season for the Lakers. 120-117. Scrappy, determined effort. Westbrook with his second straight triple-double, AD with 24 and 13. But Malik Monk’s 27 points on 10-of-13 shooting was the key. Lakers now 7-5 and get a key win as the wait for LeBron continues. – 1:02 AM

Kyle Kuzma said hecklers motivated him, that the ending was “their fault.”
He said it was Cavs fans had a sign that said “Without LeBron, Kuzma wouldn’t have a ring.” He told them: “Cleveland wouldn’t be shit without LeBron.” – 10:16 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Frank Vogel said both Austin Reaves and Rajon Rondo will be out tonight with respective hamstring strains. He said each are day-to-day, and both injuries are considered minor.
Nonetheless, LAL are considerably shorthanded vs. Miami, with LeBron, THT, Nunn and Ariza still out. – 8:20 PM
