LeBron James had 21 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds one day after flying to Atlanta and back to watch a football game on his day off, and the Los Angeles Lakers sent the Washington Wizards to their 11th consecutive defeat with a 111-88 victory.

The game was put to bed by the final minutes, which allowed Lakers head coach JJ Redick to empty out his bench. This allowed their No. 55 pick from the 2024 NBA Draft, Bronny James, to participate in the 11th game of his NBA career. James appeared for the last two minutes of the game; however, he did not record a single point.

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to take on the lowly Washington Wizards in what will be their second-to-last home game before they embark on a six-game road trip

The Wizards are simply a bad basketball team. Losers of 10 straight, Washington is led by Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma. The Lakers lost Sunday to the Clippers to snap a modest 2-game winning streak. Anthony Davis leads LA in scoring (25.6) and rebounding (11.8) for the season.
