Darvin Ham has been quoted as saying the Lakers will run their real rotation for 3 quarters vs the Suns, though Vanderbilt is confirmed out and Vincent might sit as well.

Frank Vogel just said today that the Suns will run the starters even into the 2nd half.

LeBron James and Kevin Durant, 2 of the 3 best players of the 2010s, have not played a basketball game against each other Christmas day of 2018, nearly 5 years ago.

For context:

Giannis had yet to win an MVP.

Harden was averaging 35 a game alongside Chris Paul.

The KD Warriors were still seen as the unfair tyrant atop the NBA standings.

Kyrie Irving was saying he was ready to re-sign with the Celtics.

Jokic made his first all star team.

Kemba Walker was all NBA.

The Washington Wizards were still mid af.

Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic were teammates.

Dwyane Wade made his legacy all star game.

Both Darvin Ham and Frank Vogel have said they will be running regular rotations tomorrow. Unless something changes, this is the first professional basketball match between the two in nearly 5 years.
