LeBron James and Anthony Davis ready to make their preseason debuts for Lakers

LeBron James and Anthony Davis are anticipated to make their preseason debuts on Sunday at Acrisure Arena against the Phoenix Suns, following their absences from the Lakers' initial preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 124-107, on Friday. Following the team's Saturday practice, James declared his intention to play against the Suns, and coach JJ Redick added that Davis would probably be available as well. 

The star combo of the Lakers missed the first exhibition game; Redick gave his excuses as their summertime gold-medal run with Team USA at the Olympics in Paris and their training camp grind. Though the Lakers' second-round choice in June's NBA draft, Bronny James, and his father did not share the floor on Friday, the older James was able to see Bronny's preseason debut up close. Bronny James led the club with three blocked shots in addition to scoring two points on 1-of-6 shooting.
