The Lakers duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James played the final eight games of the regular season together, the longest streak of games both have been available in the regular season since the start of the COVID season when they played nine straight games from Jan. 10-27 in 2021. For the majority of the last three seasons since winning the title, LeBron and AD have alternated injuries and availability with the Lakers floundering in the times between.
It’s encouraging that the pair finally could stay on the court together, but both have also nursed injuries that sidelined them for long segments of this season, LeBron with his foot tendon injury and AD with his stress injury in his foot.
