"If there's any kind of question marks, we'll walk through them, talk through them, and go from there." "If we see that they won't have any issues, in terms of their health, and we're not putting them at risk, then we'll proceed," Ham said. Ham said it would be a "group decision" between players, coaching staff, front office and medical staff to make the call for Wednesday. We need our players to know that we care about their health, first and foremost." Regardless of what the stakes are or the implications of with a win or a loss or all of that. "We prioritize a player's health, first and foremost. "We have our short-term business that we need to take care of and our long-term business that we need to take care of," Ham said. Lakers coach Darvin Ham said no determination had been made on James, Davis or D'Angelo Russell - who sat out Tuesday with a sore left foot - for the Clippers game as of late Tuesday night. "So, I mean, we'll all get on a phone call or something tomorrow morning and go from there." "I haven't played in a back-to-back in a long time," Davis said. The decision to hold Davis out of back-to-backs since returning from the foot injury was up to the Lakers' medical staff, sources told ESPN, with the risk of re-injury increased from overuse. In fact, he played only one back-to-back all season, Nov. Since Davis has been back in the mix, he sat out one leg of all three back-to-backs on the Lakers' schedule. It's always that."ĭavis played 42 minutes against the Jazz - the first time he's logged north of 40 minutes since returning in late January from a 20-game absence because of a bone spur and stress reaction in his right foot.
"That's been the most important since I've injured it five weeks ago - the next day after either rehab or training or treatment, whatever. "How my foot feels when I wake up and I step out of bed," James said when asked what would determine whether he suits up for the Clippers game or not.
