MRI ahead as Lakers play it safe
Maxi Kleber, who just returned from a foot injury, sat out practice after tweaking his quad during conditioning. He’ll undergo an MRI, while Deandre Ayton, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Koloko get more reps. Coach JJ Redick stressed it’s precautionary.
LeBron James spoke on pacing himself for his 23rd season, noting that sometimes presence matters as much as play. If wisdom added points, the Lakers would already be undefeated.
