Redick: It’s hard to ignore James, but you have to focus on the players you have

In a regular season game that ended today, the Lakers lost to the Warriors 109-119. After the game, Lakers coach JJ Redick accepted interviews with the media.

Regarding the absence of LeBron James, Redick said: "It's hard to ignore LeBron's presence. The reality is that when you focus on the group of players you have, you have to let this team blend in. Sometimes you may think, 'Oh my God, LeBron will come back one day.' Of course it is great, but you have to stay focused."

In this game, James watched from the sidelines due to sciatica and is expected to be sidelined until mid-November.
