There were several storylines coming into this Friday night battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans.
The illness that seemed to spread throughout multiple players for the Lakers, the return of Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram into the lineup, and the tampering or not tampering comments by LeBron James about his desire to play with All-NBA forward Anthony Davis.
Couple that in with the fact that Anthony Davis was also under the weather, and you’ve got yourself an interesting ball game.
Nevertheless, The Lakers hosted the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night, and going into the game the Lakers had to adjust their rotation to incorporate their returning players.
