Lakers Legend Magic Johnson Excited to Watch His Favorite Player in Action as NBA Officially Resumes

The NBA is officially going to resume in a few hours. After a week of scrimmage games, it is time for the real action. Fans have been waiting for months to see their favorite players finally get back in action. Hall of Famer Magic Johnson is also hyped like every fan out there, and he tweeted about this excitement.

He first tweeted about the big game, in which Los Angeles rivals Lakers and Clippers will face each other. He said he was hyped to see both his favorite team, the Lakers and his favorite player, LeBron James return to the court.

Johnson later tweeted about the other game, Utah Jazz vs the New Orleans Pelicans. This is the first game of the night, as two teams led by young stars go face to face.

After leaving the bubble due to an emergency, Zion has returned and is cleared to play as well. It will be coach Alvin gentry’s call now to see if he is fit for the game.

In an interview yesterday, Zion had mentioned his playing status is not confirmed. He said, “I was gone for 7-8 days with urgent family matters. Been in the room for 4 days. The NBA isn’t something you can jump straight into, especially after stuff like that. So me and my team will look at what’s best and see if I’m ready to go out there.”

The other game will also see a few players missing. The Clippers will be without Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, and Patrick Beverley. On the other hand, Lakers’ Anthony Davis‘ appearance is also questionable, as he has an eyesore.

But even without these players, we will see the battle for LA feature the King against the Klaw. Like always, they are bound to leave the fans off their seats (or couches), when they face each other.
