The Lakers (Almost) Lose Anthony Davis, LeBron James Could Return Next Week, and Play-In Silver Linings: The Lakers had one point guard available for Thursday's game against the Clippers. so losing wasn't exactly a surprise. That they lost Anthony Davis for all but nine minutes? That was scary. Davis spoke with the media and said the back spasms that forced him from the game hopefully won't keep him from playing Friday in a critical game against Portland... but given how this season has gone for the Lakers, how confident can anyone be? AD's presence, though, will almost certainly be required for the Lakers to beat the Blazers, and if they lose L.A. will find themselves in the seventh spot on the Western Conference playoff ladder. That means... play in tournament!! One of many things we talk about on Friday's episode. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: What did we learn from Thursday's game?
