The silver lining of the LeBron James injury 1. He will miss the Lakers stretch of 6 games in 8 nights 2. Luka will be able to take over the reins which is a huge difference than AD leading the team without LeBron 3. Austin Reaves will return to co-star with Luka as…— Dr. Evan Jeffries, DPT (@GameInjuryDoc) March 9, 2025

LeBron on his groin strain:“Not much concern. Obviously I'm day-to-day. I'll look at it each day and see if it gets better. We'll take the proper measures to see what we need to do moving forward.”(via @SpectrumSN) pic.twitter.com/tip9BqCiWK— Witness King James (@WITNESSKJ) March 9, 2025

The only really important goal for the Lakers at this point is to stay above the play in and to get to mid-April healthy and ready to go.And they’re 5.5 games up on the 7 seed.In other words, it makes all the sense in the world to rest LeBron for as long as he needs. https://t.co/7g2GzhDkuL— Jason Timpf (@_JasonLT) March 9, 2025

I’m more relieved by Bron’s comments than upset by the loss. Lakers have had great mojo this past 6 weeks and the only thing that can derail a serious run from here is a serious injury to Bron, Luka or Austin. Bron out a week is the best case scenario and I’ll take it. 🤞🏾🙏🏽— QuestFor18 (@HisandHerLakers) March 9, 2025

Shams:"He just bought a house, he just moved in a few days ago in Los Angeles. He's felt more and more appreciative and comfortable with how the Lakers have surrounded him with support, with inclusion in the process of everything" pic.twitter.com/LOLbvEk8CH— Luka Updates (@LukaUpdates) March 9, 2025

JJ on the third quarter: "Some brain fog execution-wise for us. It was a little out of character for us and I think that contributed as well to that third quarter." pic.twitter.com/7JerNtYzRF— Spectrum SportsNet (@SpectrumSN) March 9, 2025

If LeBron don’t get injured Lakers win this game cause we got within 4 points before LeBron went down … That’s my cope 😂😂😂— Raquel 🫶🏾 (@SOULbeautifulme) March 9, 2025

LeBron said he was "frustrated" after the Lakers cut it to 4 in the 4th and he wasn’t able to be out there:"It's the moments you live for"pic.twitter.com/VpFvsu15pa— ²³𝙻𝚎𝙱𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚜🏀☄️🌎💞 (@BronGotGame) March 9, 2025

New story: LeBron James exited with a groin injury and the Lakers’ win streak was snapped in Boston as LAL enters a treacherous stretch of the schedule https://t.co/8mIILjXxoP— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) March 9, 2025

Good to see the lakers fight. Could have given up after that 3rd but made these Boston losers sweat it out. Beat them by 21 in LA by the way. Big picture though LeBron’s health is gonna key now for the rest of the season.— QuestFor18 (@HisandHerLakers) March 9, 2025

No Hachimura.No Hayes.This is a scheduled loss.We’re still the 3rd seed.Relax, throw this one away and move on. 🤝 #LakeShow— Ryan Rueda (@iDude14) March 9, 2025

I already believed but not getting blown out last night reinforced why the Lakers are my pick to at least win the West. That game had all the ingredients of an ugly L and they were walking Boston down before year 22 got hurt..in a game Boston’s stars were well rested for and…— Hub (@KenHeLive) March 9, 2025

Big Three + DFS + Vando. Love it.
Let’s play some defense tonight.
LeBron as small ball five. Lakers by 10.

With Jaxson Hayes expected to miss tonight’s game, it’s a good time to point out this stat 👀 pic.twitter.com/uToMxlxAFq— Lakers All Day Everyday (@LADEig) March 8, 2025
