Anthony Davis wants to play for the Lakers and wanted to play against the Pacers.
LeBron James will get to do both tonight.
Mike Trudell of the Lakers:
LeBron confirmed that he’ll play tonight in Indiana after missing the previous contest due to load management.

LeBron returned from his groin injury to lead the Lakers over the Clippers on Thursday then sat in a loss to the Warriors on Saturday.
The Lakers have fallen to 10th in the Western Conference, and – especially if they don’t get Davis – will need LeBron to carry them into the playoffs. The sooner he returns to playing his usual minutes every game, the better for Los Angeles.
This is at least a step in the right direction and a big boost to the Lakers’ odds of winning tonight.
