Legend says that’s the first time Lebron was in actual pain when falling on the court.

He's such a legitimately tough hombre...... but I don't see him playing tomorrow night.

X-rays were reportedly negative on Lebron. Still awaiting MRI results.

Hopefully the recent loss to Minnesota is still fresh on the teams mind so they don't take the Lakers lightly without LeBron or Davis.

I'd be surprised if LeBron plays and would consider him out as of now.

Time for the Suns to put some space between themselves and the Lakers in the standings.

Edit: didn't see those 2 posts above saying LeBron is out when I posted mine.

Suns hopefully have learned they can't take any team lightly.

A few weeks before that we lost to a wounded Nets team with players named Carrot and Chiatsu, if we didn't learn the lesson then we'll never learn it.

ha! And oy.

atfirst I was bummed to see this because I was licking my chops to see how this team was going to respond to a really big game, especially as they’ve been scuffling for a little bit. But man... the west standings are TIGHT so I will take whatever advantage is given to us, especially wi5 a tough roadie coming up that will have some big matchups,

Yep. I'd like to know we are good enough to beat that team with Lebron playing but not as much as I'd like to add to our win total.
