Spurs vs. Lakers GAMEDAY: San Antonio Looks to End Six-Game Skid; LeBron James to Play?
The San Antonio Spurs host the Los Angeles Lakers for the second of three meetings in six days Friday at the AT&T Center, as San Antonio looks to end a six-game losing streak, the longest current skid in the league.
The Spurs (6-13) enter the matchup after a 129-110 at the hands of Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday night. The Lakers (5-11) fell 115-105 to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
San Antonio dropped the first meeting of the season with the Lakers in embarrassing fashion on Sunday. The Spurs lost 123-92, posting their worst scoring total of the season. The Lakers were without superstar LeBron James in that game, but he is questionable to return against the Spurs on Friday.
