Los Angeles Lakers boss JJ Redick unsure of 82-game season for LeBron James
James, who has missed 19 straight 3-pointers, had 10 points on 4-for-16 shooting in the Lakers’ 109-80 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.
Speaking after the blowout loss, Lakers coach JJ Redick touched on the goal set by the 39-year-old veteran.
“I don’t know that’s in the best interest of him and us if he does that, but if he’s feeling well and feeling good, then he should play,” Redick said after the defeat. “But we obviously want to … manage that as best we can.”
