Anthony Davis didn't play because of a combination of problems - the nagging hip issues and a recently rolled ankle among them. D'Angelo Russell sat out his first game of the season because of illness and Cam Reddish, who has been beaten up as the Lakers' primary perimeter defender, sat because of right knee soreness. Privately, even some available Lakers admitted to dealing with fatigue, an effect of the brutal schedule that has had the Lakers mostly living out of a suitcase since Thanksgiving.
James scored 23 points to go with 14 assists, Austin Reaves had 22, Rui Hachimura had 20 and Christian Wood scored 17 in the loss. Devin Vassell led the Spurs with 36 points, the Lakers' defense failing to slow the Spurs.
