#Lakers vs 76ers

PHILADELPHIA -- Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James didn't play in Thursday night's 105-87 loss to the 76ers because of left knee soreness. Coach Frank Vogel made the announcement that his star player was out about 90 minutes before tipoff. He said James woke up with some soreness in his left knee. The team had listed James as questionable earlier Thursday before he was ultimately ruled out.

LeBron James was out with knee soreness. That left Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook to try to snag a big road win in Philadelphia on Thursday. But they’d have to figure out how to do what no other team has been able to do lately, and that’s stop Joel Embiid. Embiid is on a historic run, and despite Davis’ best efforts, scoring a game-high 31 points, to go with 12 boards and four blocks, it wasn’t nearly enough. The Sixers won handily, 105-87. It’s their 13th victory in their last 16 games. They’re as hot as any team in basketball and no one in the league is outplaying Embiid right now.

PHILADELPHIA -- Two teams looking to climb the standings in their respective conferences met when the Philadelphia 76ers hosted the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. The Lakers were without All-Star forward LeBron James, who missed the game with left knee soreness, but they did have Anthony Davis, who was playing in just his second game following an extended absence due to a MCL injury. The Sixers were without starting shooting guard Seth Curry, but they were relatively healthy otherwise.

It's been quite a while since Philadelphia 76ers veteran forward Danny Green saw the floor. As the Sixers faced the Charlotte Hornets at home a few weeks back, Green was shaping up to have one of his best performances of the year. Unfortunately, the veteran forward saw his night get...

The Philadelphia 76ers are slowly getting guys back in the mix after dealing with a long season of injuries and COVID-related setbacks so far. For the last couple of weeks, the Sixers have missed Danny Green and Shake Milton. And over the last handful of games, Matisse Thybulle and Seth...

Despite missing 17 games with an MCL injury, Anthony Davis has shown no ill effects since returning to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. Against the Brooklyn Nets, Davis was moving on both ends of the floor well and afterward noted he could have played more despite being on a minutes restriction. In the Lakers’ loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Davis proved he is past his knee injury as he recorded a 31-point, 12-rebounds double-double in 34 minutes of action to go along with two steals and four blocks.

After a rough loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Lakers will have less than 24 hours to recover before they tip-off again against the Charlotte Hornets. This will be a tough one for the purple and gold, not only due to the game being the second half of a road back-to-back, but also because they’re going up against a young and confident team that’s coming off a dominant, 32-point victory.

Drummond closed with two points (1-3 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 13 minutes during Thursday's 105-87 victory over the Lakers. Drummond collected double-digit boards in the loss but, per usual, offered basically nothing else. He has now scored in single digits in nine consecutive games, exceeding 18 minutes just twice in that span. As long as Joel Embiid is healthy, Drummond is nothing more than a streaming option for those in need of boards and some defensive contributions.

The Philadelphia 76ers were able to pick up a 105-87 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at home on Thursday to improve to 2-0 on this 5-game homestand. While Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, and Tyrese Maxey had big games, they also got another big game out of their defensive stud.
