Los Angeles Lakers basketball team injured riddled team vs Golden State Warriors injured riddled team
Lebron James showed up and showed out
Yesterday on 04/09/26 there was western division showdown between the Warriors vs the Lakers, no one knew what to expect since both of these teams are maneuvering with some major injuries. On the Lakers side they are crippled by non-playing members: Luka Doncic (hamstring strain), Austin Reaves (left oblique strain), Marcus Smart (right ankle contusion) Jaxson Hayes (left foot soreness).
Lebron James was playing with a left groin strain, and Rui Hachimuraa left patellar tendinopathy.
On the Warriors side: Steph Curry (right knee management), Kristaps Porzingis (illness management) Al Horford (right calf strain), Jimmy Butler (torn ACL) Moses Moody (knee surgery)
Whew!!!! This was a basketball game that was more like the Hospital ER vs the Infirmary.
Nevertheless, Golden State Warriors played flat they came out playing defeated. Having Steph Curry coming out playing the last two games after his injury sparked a fire in them and they played with a little bit of urgency because their leader was on the court. Since Steph Curry did not play yesterday the rest of the team apparently didn't either.
On the flip side Lebron had a showman type performance. He still showed that he still has that same statue of physicality. He was dunking, he was aggressive in the paint. He was taking on defenders. (By the way I don't know what vitamins he is taking; but sign me up).
Lakers defeated the Warriors 119-103.
