The Los Angeles Lakers took on the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night as part of the first game of TNT's weekly double-header. While Luka Doncic was in the lineup for the Lakers, LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and Jaxon Hayes all ended their road trip early and flew back to Los Angeles rather than travel to Milwaukee and Denver.
TNT's Jared Greenberg explained all this on the pregame show, saying LeBron is progressing and his groin injury isn't as bad as the one he one he suffered a few years ago. Greenberg revealed that LeBron had headed home early to avoid a flight to Denver and so he could get some rest at home.
