LeBron James played on empty against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 5, making just five of 17 shots from the field, finishing with 15 points and five turnovers.
Anthony Davis had 31 points and 19 rebounds while LeBron James had an off shooting night in the Lakers’ loss at Memphis in Game 5 on Wednesday night.
The question James has to answer is more immediate, about whether he will be physically capable of leading the Lakers to a win Friday at Crypto.com Arena in Game 6. Lose there, and the Lakers will have to return to Memphis for Game 7., who scored 31 points and collected 19 rebounds, echoed James’ confidence.“It’s two days from now, so no idea,” James said. “Obviously, I’ll take care of my body and try to get as much sleep as I can and see how fast my body can recover to get ready for Friday.
James didn’t have it from the start, the 47 minutes he played in his 22-point, 20-rebound game two night earlier clearly still affecting him. The possible exception was D’Angelo Russell, who scored the first eight points of the second half to narrow the Lakers’ deficit to 61-60.
