LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond played together for the first time as teammates on Friday night, with the Lakers dropping a 110-106 home contest to the Kings.
Drummond, who signed a free-agent deal to join the Lakers in March, had yet to play with the superstar duo together as they recovered from injuries. The 28-year-old finished with 17 points, seven rebounds and 24 minutes in the losing effort against Sacramento.
“He makes the game very easy for everybody,” Drummond said after his first game with James, according to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times. “I feel like he sees everything. He’s like a quarterback, so having him out there’s been really fun — my first game being on the same side as him. It’s definitely been a great learning experience for me, I’m looking forward to being on the court with him more to do better things.”
