Anthony Davis (Plantar Fasciitis?) Probable for Lakers Vs. 76ers. Can D'Angelo Russell Bounce Back?

The Lakers are home from a disappointing road trip, and will have a golden opportunity to get a better taste in their mouths tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers, who have only won a single game this season, and will be playing... without Joel Embiid (suspension). without Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) with Paul George, but still playing limited minutes. No disrepect to the other guys on the roster, but the star power is listed above, and it's limited to say the least. The Lakers, on the other hand, will be a lot closer to whole. Anthony Davis, who missed Wednesday's game in Memphis, is listed as probable for tonight. Rui Hachimura, who was sick on Wednesday and didn't play, is expected to suit up. So the Lakers will have as full a group as they can have. They need to win this game. Davis, for what it's worth, reportedly has been dealing with plantar fasciitis, according to Shams Charania. That explains the heel pain, to say the least. And it's unfortunately something likely to nag him throughout the season. Sigh. One guy who needs a major bounceback game? D'Angelo Russell, who sat the last 17 minutes of Wednesday's loss because in the words of JJ Redick, he didn't have the level of investment in the game he needed, and wasn't paying close enough attention to things the staff has been harping on with him. So he sat. Redick said they've been talking about this stuff for a couple of weeks, which is interesting because it shows these issues aren't isolated to a single game. And its' teh first time he's lit into a player in pretty pointed ways, period. And to this point, Redick has been been nothing but complimentary towards Russell all year. We'll see what happens. The Lakers need more from Russell, and this is, perhaps, one way to help get him there. Finally, the G-League Lakers opened up camp this week, and Bronny James will be joining them for home games, at least for the time being.
