The Los Angeles Lakers recently secured their 13th win of the season by defeating the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 107-98. Fans were delighted by a memorable moment on the court that featured star players LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

James was sidelined in the game due to lingering foot soreness. However, Davis rose to the occasion in his absence, concluding the match with an impressive 30 points, one assist, and 11 rebounds. Throughout the game, James watched from the sidelines alongside his son, Bronny.

Notably, Davis made his way over to the courtside area to engage with his teammates. He shared a lighthearted moment with Bronny, affectionately treating him like a rookie. In a display of respect, Bronny stood up and offered his seat to Davis. James looked on with a smile, clearly appreciating the playful exchange between the two.

A basketball enthusiast commented, “Get up rook.”

JJ Redick Emphasizes The Importance of A 4-Day Break For LeBron James’ Recovery

After competing tirelessly since the start of the 2024-25 NBA season, LeBron James ultimately took a much-needed day off—not because of his age but rather due to discomfort in his left foot. Nevertheless, the Lakers demonstrated remarkable prowess on the court and achieved a solid victory against the Blazers. Anthony Davis praised his teammates for their resilience and performance during James’s absence, highlighting the collective effort required to secure the win.

The Lakers will play against the Minnesota Timberwolves in just four days. In the post-game press conference, JJ Redick highlighted that this extended break could considerably aid in James’ recovery process.

“Yeah, I mean, you don’t want him out of the lineup, that’s for sure. But it is an opportunity to get four days rest before we practice again. So it could be really good for him.” Redick said (Via Lakers Nation)

The Lakers currently hold the 8th position in the Western Conference standings, boasting a record of 13 victories and 11 defeats
