Tthe Los Angeles Lakers’ 132-122 win over Sacramento on Saturday night in the Kings’ first game under interim coach Doug Christie.

LeBron James missed his third game of the season Saturday versus the Kings due to an illness, but coach JJ Redick said he is "just a little under the weather."

That was the message that new head coach Doug Christie had given to the Kings’ players after taking over the big chair in the wake of Mike Brown being fired. Christie emphasized it several times Saturday night, “And this is a message that I said to them — there is enough in this locker room.”

LeBron James was a late scratch Saturday due to illness. Anthony Davis did suit up for the Lakers' nightcap matchup against Sacramento.

Los Angeles went up by 11 in the opening period and led 40-31 at the end of the first quarter. Sacramento came back to tie the game on a dunk by Keegan Murray with 5:08 to play in the first half and led 66-65 at the halftime break after Fox made two free throws with 13.1 seconds remaining.

Superstar forward LeBron James' status for Saturday night's game against the Sacramento Kings at home is finally known.

Anthony Davis had 36 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists in the Lakers’ 132-122 win over Sacramento, spoiling interim Kings head coach Doug Christie’s debut.

The Lakers have a packed injury report for Saturday's matchup, with superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis both given a "questionable" designation. The Lakers are 3-0 against the Kings this season, and having their All-Star duo available on Saturday would give them a likely chance to sweep the season series.
