Sources: Lakers' LeBron James, Anthony Davis expected to play vs. Clippers
The Los Angeles Lakers will have their stars on the court for a Christmas Day showdown with the LA Clippers.
LeBron James, who missed a game for the first time all season Sunday with a thoracic muscle strain and discomfort in his groin, and Anthony Davis, who tweaked his right knee in that loss to Denver that James missed, are expected to play on Wednesday, league sources told ESPN.
James and Davis were encouraged during an impromptu early-morning practice on Christmas Eve, sources told ESPN, in preparation for the Lakers' first game against the fully-formed Clippers with both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George available to play.
