LeBron James may be the star of Los Angeles Lakers and even the NBA for that matter, but he's paid homage to how integral Anthony Davis is after they suffered in his absence.
James returned to Cleveland with the Lakers, but they suffered an early blow on Tuesday night as Davis checked out of the game early with 'flu-like symptoms'. Davis left during the first quarter, and the Lakers struggled to cope without him on the court.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Lakers 116-102 as Donovan Mitchell dropped a 43-point game, and Davis' lack of presence was telling - especially in the fourth quarter. And James has opened up about how much Davis influences their results, claiming they have to change their whole game-plan when he's not there.
