LeBron James who has been carrying Lakers literally throughout the season was horrified when his buddy was on the ground, “Obviously it’s sickening to see AD go down in that fashion, I hope he’s fine. Obviously, I mean, I know he’s not like, great, but obviously, his health is most important for him individually, for our ballclub. I’ve seen [teammates get injured] too many times, obviously. So, I just wish him the best.” Said, LeBron James.
