As part of the Lakers’ continuous efforts to limit the amount of playing time the 38-year-old player who holds the record for most points scored in NBA history, LeBron James, the Lakers pondered giving James, who suffers from tendinitis in his left ankle, a day off during the second game of their back-to-back set. After finishing his pregame routine, James made the decision that he would play in the game nevertheless.

In the first half, Harris shot a perfect 5 for 5 from the field and made four 3-pointers, helping the Magic come back from an early 11-point deficit to take the lead at halftime.

After suffering an eye injury in Sacramento, Rui Hachimura decided not to play for Los Angeles.
