Lakers star forwards LeBron James and Anthony Davis are listed as doubtful to play Tuesday at Dallas, Dave McMenamin of ESPN tweets. James injured his left ankle against New Orleans on Sunday and under treatment on Monday. In Davis’ case, it’s an upgrade. Davis went through a full, live practice for the first time since he suffered a mid-foot sprain on February 16.
We have more on the Los Angeles teams:
- Amir Coffey has been a steady contributor since Clippers forward Paul George was sidelined and his status won’t change when the perennial All-Star forward potentially returns on Tuesday, Mirjam Swanson of the Orange County Register tweets. Coffey is averaging 8.9 PPG, 2.8 RPG and 1.8 APG in 23.6 MPG in his third NBA season. “He’s earned it, last three years, the work he’s put in … this season he’s kind of kept us afloat,” Lue said.
- Coffey had his two-way contract converted to a standard one this weekend and Semi Ojeleye was waived to make room for him on the 15-man roster. It was due to the franchise’s desire to reward Coffey rather than anything regarding Ojeleye’s play. Lue said Ojeleye “did everything right” and was sad to see him depart, Greif tweets.
- Norman Powell still has a number of steps to go before returning from his left foot injury. The Clippers forward has done some shooting but hasn’t progressed beyond that in his recovery, Greif added in another tweet.
So the Raptors desperately need an all star C to compete for another championship.
Is AD worth unloading the picks LA wants? Pretty sure salary matching is a thing, the Raptors would have to give something up but aren’t sitting on any “bad” elevated contracts
Thoughts?
Raps should go after Jarret Allen on the high end and Nic Claxton on the low end this off season. A center that could switch on to guards but was a legit 6’11 would take Toronto’s defense to the next level
And what makes you Allen is a available?
Anyone in the league is available for the right price
Yeah I think Siakam and Barnes would get it done
Allen is going no where. Holmes if he Is not in jail should be available. Jake may come back now that Collins is healthy in SA. Jalen Smith would be a good sign too for the raptors.
Hopefully San Antonio can knock the Lakers out!
