Ellie Day is out of the hospital and recovering. That's the important part.After she was plowed over by LeBron James in a completely accidental loose ball foul courtside at Thursday's Cavaliers-Thunder game, the wife of golfer Jason Day was taken to a hospital. She also was bizarrely criticized for not moving, and Jason Day was criticized for not helping
Javier Baez Jersey her avoid James.MORE: | So Ellie did what we all do in 2015 and wrote out a me sage to those concerned for her and the haters.This! we good! Ellie Day (@ellielaneday) Here's the full text:Wow!! Its official. More me sages from getting plowed over by Lebron than Jason winning a major. HA.First of all, I am okay!! I am incredibly sore and exhausted.
John Lackey Jersey Being tackled by that large man I would compare to a minor car accident. My head and neck hit pretty hard so it was really scary. My whole body feels like it was hit by a truck.Second, it was so fast. I didnt remember until 2am seeing the ball come toward me. It was a blur. To the crazies that think Jason should have protected me if he had time to react, so would have I. Also, I would not
Alec Mills Jersey have liked both dudes landing on me. Lebron is huge and had such momentum he could not have stopped!!Third, people are saying its a money grab or some crap which is obviously absurd. Much like attending a golf event and risking getting hit with a ball, sitting court side you risk getting run into. I would never make anything more of it. Theyre huge men doing their job. I was stabilized because I smashed my neck and head and obviously it was with
Kendall Graveman Jersey great force.Last, I am truly touched by the insane outpouring of support and those of you covering me in prayer. It could have been so much worse. I am thankful for so many things. One, that I didnt have Lucy on my chest in her carrier, and that I wasnt still pregnant. Also that Dash wasnt with us. Also that Amy had my babies and got them to me at the hospital so I could feed little Lucy. It was my biggest concern when I came out

The competitive portion of LeBron James' first season with the Lakers is over (see for the particulars). The final month figures tobe all about the drama.Lakers guard Rajon Rondo added a subplot Wednesday night.Rondo, one of the veterans brought in to be part of King James' court, appeared to openly show di satisfaction with the team's state as it

He separated from his teammates in the final seconds and not for the first time this season and sat in an open courtside seat next to 2 Chainz and his family.MORE: As James, coach Luke Walton and the rest of the squad awaited the final horn together, Rondo stewed on his own island.Rondo's gesture,

Is the former James teammate one and done as Bron's floor bo s? Who would be next? Jackson's name comes up a lot. James waiting for that second star to join him. AnthonyDavis may or may not be walking through that door. Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka's ability/inability to make such a movehappen. Which young

Los Angeles is gearing up for a championship run.The Lakers have already traded Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-round picks to the Pelicans in exchange for Anthony Davis, but there's still work to be done.Los Angeles is trying to free up enough cap space for a third max player. However, there are other problems that need to be addre sed.Here are three things the Lakers need in 2019:A quality starting point guardThe NBA is a point guard's league.The last six NBA Finals have been won by teams with All-Star point guards,
Darin Erstad Jersey and the Western Conference is stacked with talent at the position. Stephen Curry, Ru sell Westbrook and Damian Lillard come to mind, but the Lakers didn't have a floor general close to their caliber in 2018-19.After Los Angeles had a spat with Houston last season, Rajon Rondo served a suspension and was demoted to a reserve role behind Lonzo Ball. But neither Ball nor Rondo were really given the opportunity to be a true point guard because of the Lakers' brand of positionle s basketball. Ball-handling responsibilities were split between them, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram and LeBron James, who led the team in a sists per game (8.3).But now Ingram and Ball have been dealt to New Orleans. If the Lakers are able to acquire an established point guard who can be ball dominant,
Julio Teheran Jersey score, and initiate the offense in the second unit as we all know everything will likely run through James when it comes to the starters they could take a huge step forward.Los Angeles has been linked to Chris Paul, D'Angelo Ru sell and Kyrie Irving this offseason and haven't had an All-Star Point guard since Nick Van Exel in 1997-98.Outside shootingThe Lakers flat out weren't good at
J. C. Ramirez Jersey shooting the basketball last season.Los Angeles ranked 29th in 3-point shooting percentage in 2018-19 at 33.3 percent and not one starter converted more than 35 percent of their chances from beyond the arc.James already draws a ridiculous amount of attention on drives, and the addition of Anthony Davis will only increase the frequency of double teams in the painted area. If neither of these Lakers stars can kick the ball out to reliable snipers, their gravity will be wasted.There are quite a few 3-and-D players hitting the market who could
Blake Parker Jersey help Los Angeles with this deficiency.Some e sence of a benchThere are a lot of question marks on the Lakers' roster for 2019-20 and they need to sort things out.Los Angeles signed Rondo, Lance Stephenson and JaVale McGee to one-year deals last summer and none of them appear to be locks to return. Then there's Tyson Chandler, who's also entering unrestricted free agency.When the Lakers traded away a large chunk of the young core, they thinned out their already questionable depth. Los Angeles' bench for next season would likely consist of Isaac Bonga, Alex Caruso, Moritz Wagner, Johnathan Williams and Jemmerio Jones were it to be finalized today. To call that personnel shaky would be
Jonathan Lucroy Jersey an understatement, but the Lakers are also reportedly trying to move their contracts in a salary dumping effort.James, Davis and Kuzma are a solid front line, but this Lakers team would probably fall apart if either of its All-Stars mi ses extended time in 2019-20 like they did last year. Los Angeles might be the betting favorites to win the NBA Finals in 2020, but its roster's construction will definitely need some adjustments to make that goal a reality. Related Articles

The Warriors are still expecting to be without DeMarcus Cousins for the rest of the playoffs.The 28-year-old center, who tore his left quadriceps muscle last week, began his rehab program Tuesday, coach Steve Kerr told reporters. But, the team is not optimistic about Cousins return."It was good to see him, and obviously weve been gone the last week or so," Kerr said, . "Its good

The atmosphere inside the Kings locker room, one source with knowledge of the team said, can be best described aspoisonous.It is under that cloud that coach George Karl is surviving, if barely. thatKarl has staved off firing once again,but another go at this tenuous relationshipis not really going to change that dynamic, which has been present in one form or another through the long line of coaches eight in total the Kings have gone through in the last decade.MORE: |Its no secret that however the problems in the Kings locker room are described, the epicenter is All-Star big man DeMarcus Cousins, and no matter what happens with Karl in the coming days, the Kings apparently still have no answers to their Cousins conundrum. He is among the most talented players in the league (averaging 26.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game), but he
Sheldrick Redwine Jersey s struggled to rein in his attitude, emotions and inclination toward insubordination.Despite those i sues, he would have plenty of trade value based on his talent. But sources told Sporting News that a trade of Cousins has not been seriously considered by general manager Vlade Divac or owner Vivek Ranadiveand that it would take a mega-offer for that to change before next weeks deadline. Even then, its a tremendous longshot.Coming out of the All-Star break and into March, though, the team is expected to make a determination on whether to use the coming months to lay the groundwork for a trade of Cousins. If it happens, it could take a while, the way the Timberwolves extended the negotiating period for Kevin Love in 2014.All of this is not to say that Karl bears no burden for the fracture of his relationship with Cousins, whose reputation for a short fuse and anti-coaching tendencies
Ozzie Newsome Jersey goes back to his high school daysand was confirmed by his rotten relationship with his first NBA coach, Paul Westphal, who lasted only seven games into his second season coaching Cousins. Over the previous two years, Cousins got on well with new coach Mike Malone, who gave Cousins a certain amount of leeway but reeled him in when nece sary.What Mike understood is that DeMarcus is a smart guy who lets his emotions get away from him but then cools off and is OK after that, one source told SN. So he would let him vent and not come back at him when that was happening, but would talk to him once things settled down and everything would be fine.MORE: Alas, Malone was fired after starting 11-13 last season because Ranadive a former minority owner of the Warriors wanted to see his team play up-tempo, like Golden State. That eventually led to the hiring of Karl. Unlike Malone, Karl has not been one for giving Cousins leeway or cool-down time, and that set the relationship on a bad path from the get-go.In the offseason, of course, word got out that Karl had been personally calling other teams to gauge po sible Cousins trades. Cousins tweeted out emoji images of a snake in
Ricardo Louis Jersey the gra s, and it was clear his target was Karl. If there was a chance to get the Karl-Cousins combo on a good footing, it ended then. In November, Karl and Cousins had it out in the locker room, with Cousins reportedly cu sing out Karl. An uneasy dtente followed.Such is the state of the Kings that it has been new point guard Rajon Rondo who has done the most to hold the bunch together. As a formerly hard-headed young player from Kentucky himself, Rondo has befriended Cousins and offered guidance. Rondo likes playing in Karls up-tempo system and has not been a headache for the coach, but the two have no special bond. Karl (without naming names) has been critical of his perimeter defenders, of which Rondo is the most visible.Thats a symptom of a bigger problem. Karl has been unable to get his team to make very basic adjustments. The Kings have now lost seven of their last eight games, and in that span, opponents have shot an incredible 45.9 percent from the 3-point line against them. They allowed a season-high 54.2 percent on 3s to the Celtics in their lo s on Sunday, after allowing a season-high to Brooklyn (64.3) in the previous game and the second-highest percentage of the year to Chicago (52.4).MORE: When he was asked about the way teams have been making 3-pointers against the Kings, Karl was vague, pointing out that the way the NBA is going these days is to
Anthony Zettel Jersey shoot 3s in transition, and protecting the paint means you cant guard the 3-point line.Karl was asked Sundaywhether his team had become, over the years, too comfortable with losing. He responded by explaining that teams are running off transition opportunities too often.I think the proce s in the NBA is that teams study each other at a high, high level, Karl said. I think teams are figuring out that we might over-penetrate. We turn the ball over on the short pa s in the lane. I definitely think teams are hyped to run on our turnovers. Ten years ago, you could turn the ball over and teams
Genard Avery Jersey didnt even run on you. Now, the way the game is going, everybody is running on everybody. The fast game, the open-court game, the 3-ball game is becoming a huge personality and we just have got to learn and get better.That should be Karls domain. The Kings are getting beaten not only with their sour attitude, which falls to the players, but with plain old with Xs and Os, which falls to the coach. Cousins is not going anywhere, at least not in the short term, and Karl probablywill be gone at some point. But the problems in Sacramento are not going away.
