With Anthony Davis sitting out, Darvin Ham must wait for Lakers lineup he really wants

LA Times  

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton and Lakers forward LeBron James battle for the ball during the first half of a preseason game on Wednesday in Las Vegas. Anthony Davis would start Wednesday’s game against the Suns in Las Vegas at center, the type of small-ball group that should allow the Lakers to fly around on both ends of the court. Before the decision to sit Davis ahead of the Lakers’ 119-115 loss to the Phoenix Suns, Ham said he didn’t think it mattered whether Davis played power forward or center when it comes to keeping him healthy. LeBron James scored 23 points in the first half and Russell Westbrook had 12 in 21 minutes Wednesday.. Lonnie Walker IV went through an extensive workout during the team’s shootaround Wednesday morning and should get game action for the first time this preseason.. Ham said Troy Brown Jr. still had a “ways to go” before he’ll be game ready..
