The Los Angeles Lakers injury-ravaged close to the season continued on Thursday. LeBron James aggravated a right hand injury in the win over the Golden State Warriors. Postgame, James said he's been dealing with the injury for a while now and feels it when he hits the hand in certain ways. James appeared to re-ding the injury when making a chase-down block midway through the third quarter.
Lakers guard Luke Kennard also injured his hand on the play when swiping for the ball. Both James and Kennard returned to the game before exiting midway through the fourth quarter with Los Angeles holding a big lead. James downplayed the injury postgame by saying, It'll be fine. I mean it's not fine, but I'm good.
