Considering the Lakers have been managing LeBron James’ “load management” of late, often sitting him out on the second half of back-to-back sets, L.A. taking on the Wizards on Tuesday night is potentially bad news for him stepping on the court at Vivint Smart Home Arena tonight against the Jazz.
Regardless, his presence was felt Wednesday morning at Jazz shootaround at Zions Bank Basketball Campus. Though he remains something of a lightning rod among fans and pundits, the two Jazz players who were teammates with James on the Cavaliers — Kyle Korver and Jae Crowder — had nothing but good things to say about him.
