Shams: LeBron James (ankle) out for Lakers another 3-5 weeks
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (high right ankle sprain) is expected to miss another 3-5 weeks, per Shams Charania of Stadium.
What It Means:
The Lakers are going to prioritize the postseason and allow James to heal in the meantime. That will mean more work for Talen Horton-Tucker, Kyle Kuzma, and Dennis Schroder while James and Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both out.
numberFire’s models project THT for 23.3 FanDuel points versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday and he has a salary of $5,500 on the five-game slate. Kuzma is projected for 33.6 FanDuel points with a salary of $7,000.
