LeBron James and Russell Westbrook sat out of both of the Los Angeles Lakers’ first two preseason games. With Trevor Ariza also down for about two months due to ankle surgery, it’s left the Lakers with Anthony Davis, and a random assortment of journeymen. Journeymen with recognizable names, for sure - but journeymen, nonetheless.
