The Los Angeles Lakers have been handed a huge blow as star man LeBron James has been ruled out for a minimum of two weeks, and Anthony Davis has been told it's time to step up.
Things were starting to look great for the Lakers, as they enjoyed a successful trade window and have won four of their last five games. However, James went down clutching his right foot in Sunday's 111-108 win over the Dallas Mavericks and has been ruled out indefinitely, with the Lakers set to assess him in two weeks.
The Lakers are used to dealing with injuries, although it's usually Davis that spends time in the treatment room over James. But now that "the King is down" he has been told to fill the void left by James.
