LeBron James returns but Anthony Davis sits out vs. Grizzlies

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Lakers’ stars swapped availability for Wednesday’s road game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

LeBron James was back in the lineup after being sidelined for Tuesday’s 128-124 double-overtime victory over the Bucks in Milwaukee while Anthony Davis wasn’t available against the Grizzlies because of a left knee hyperextension he suffered against the Bucks.

James, who has been dealing with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy, and Davis entered the matchup as questionable.

Davis had 34 points, 23 rebounds and four blocked shots in a career-high 52 minutes against the Bucks.

With Davis out, Jaxson Hayes started alongside James, D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.
