LeBron Steps Up as Reaves Sits Out

With Austin Reaves sidelined at least four weeks by a calf strain, LeBron James and Luka Doncic carried the Lakers past the Kings. Doncic poured in 34 points, while LeBron hit 11 of 13 shots for 24.

James promised to do ‘whatever’s needed’—which apparently now includes playing like he found the game’s cheat code.
