The Lakers finally played a sub-.500 team on Friday and still lost against the Kings 120-114. Amidst more players missing games, a protest bubbling outside the stadium, and a four-game losing streak, Los Angeles found a way to fall apart in the fourth.
Battling an illness that made him a game-time decision, Anthony Davis showed up to Crypto.com Arena clearly under the weather with his nose bright red. You didn’t see much of an effect on his game though; he started with a wonderful assist to Lonnie Sky Walker IV, dove into the stands to steal a pass, and had a chase-down block on Harrison Barnes.
