In an interview yesterday, Zion had mentioned his playing status is not confirmed. He said, “I was gone for 7-8 days with urgent family matters. Been in the room for 4 days. The NBA isn’t something you can jump straight into, especially after stuff like that. So me and my team will look at what’s best and see if I’m ready to go out there.”
The other game will also see a few players missing. The Clippers will be without Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, and Patrick Beverley. On the other hand, Lakers’ Anthony Davis‘ appearance is also questionable, as he has an eyesore.
But even without these players, we will see the battle for LA feature the King against the Klaw. Like always, they are bound to leave the fans off their seats (or couches), when they face each other.
