LeBron James twisted his left ankle in the late going of Game 2 against the Nuggets on Thursday but the Lakers’ superstar said he’ll play in Game 3, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. James, who has dealt with right foot problems this season, stepped on Anthony Davis‘ foot. “A little ankle [injury] isn’t going to stop me,” James said.
We have more from the Pacific Division:
- Chima Moneke, who played two games with the Kings this season before signing with AS Monaco in the EuroLeague, fully expects league MVP Sasha Vezenkov to play for his former NBA team next season, Aris Barkas of Eurohoops.net writes. Sacramento holds Vezenkov’s NBA rights. “I know that they love him over there. They’re really excited to bring him over,” Moneke said. “I believe they’re going to do what it takes to implement him on the team. I think he can contribute in a lot of ways.”
- The Suns have gotten numerous inquiries from college coaches regarding their head coaching job, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports. While Rankin doesn’t reveal any specific names, he notes that owner Mat Ishbia is extremely close to his former college coach, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo.
- Clippers general manager Michael Winger has interviewed with the Wizards in Washington’s search for a top executive. However, there’s skepticism around the league that Winger, one of the highest paid GMs in the league, will leave the stability of his current job, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.
Nuggets game
LeBron is similar to Draymond on 2 things
Miss 3 feet layup
Miss 3 point attempts
It obvious that Sillivan is completely clueless about Basketball. LeBron is a Scorer. Draymond stated early in his career that he knew Klay Thompson and Steph Curry were better shooters. So, Draymond he worked to make these guys better shooters. This is basic commen knowledge to anyone that follows Basketball.
I actually thought it was funny since Green missed so many easy lay ups in Game 1 vs the Lakers that cost GSW the game.
LeBron could have just said his ankle was fine. But no, he’s got to let people know how tough he is.
The twist of the ankle was funny since he was acting to get a foul call by rolling on the ground but as soon as reeves hits the 3 he is smiling.
If he did that, it would be totally out of his narcissistic nature.
A little ankle may not stop ya
….but a great big Jokic will.
Would love to see Izzo fail in the pros. But I do think he would do well!
Can’t see Izzo in the NBA. Those strict disciplinarian coaches don’t work in NBA. Plus why would he want that headache. He’s fine where he is.
But check this out. Had to look it. Couldn’t believe it. Suns owner did play for coach Izzo. As a walk-on no less. His family had money. And he made the company even bigger as CEO. Now I understand why he fired Monty. This man knows what he wants. I like this man now.
