Lakers Fall to 76ers After Anthony Davis Exits Early with Injury
Tyrese Maxey's 43-point performance leads a depleted Philadelphia roster to victory as Los Angeles struggles without their star big man.
- Anthony Davis exited the game in the first quarter due to an abdominal strain, leaving his status for upcoming games uncertain.
- LeBron James scored 31 points and added nine assists, but turnovers and a lack of support from teammates hindered the Lakers' efforts.
- Tyrese Maxey dominated for the 76ers with 43 points, extending his streak of 11 consecutive games scoring 25 or more points.
- Despite missing Joel Embiid and Paul George, the 76ers capitalized on the Lakers' 22 turnovers and lack of interior defense, scoring 46 points in the paint.
