LeBron James gave the Lakers fanbase a major scare during the team's first game after adding Luka Doncic amid Tuesday's blowout win over the Clippers. During the third quarter of the clash, James dove for a loose ball despite the Lakers leading 94-73, cruising to a win with 30 seconds left in the quarter.

James Harden and Kris Dunn were also involved in the skirmish as the Clippers duo collided with the Lakers superstar. With Doncic sidelined and the Lakers lacking some firepower after trading another starter, Max Christie, with Anthony Davis, the Lakers fans were scared after seeing James grimacing in pain after that possession.

He also took a while to get back up. However, James avoided an injury on that play. He remained on the floor, closing his night with 26 points, eight rebounds and nine assists on 8 of 13 shots with a +/- of +19 in 31 minutes.
