During the matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers, Tyson Chandler hilariously drew imaginary chalk around his point guard Rajon Rondo.

This matchup was huge for the Lakers because LeBron James was coming back since being sidelined by an injury for a month. He got hurt in late-December with a left-groin strain, and since then it's taken him about a month to rest his body. His camp made it clear that he wouldn't rush back from injury.
In his absence, the Lakers have struggled. The young players have had the responsibilityĀ of keeping the team afloat. Kyle Kuzma has been a very dynamic scorer, and Lonzo Ball has done an excellent job in running the offense. However, the team desperately needed James' leadership.
On the other hand, the Clippers have been a surprise story this season. The collection of veterans has played very well under head coach Doc Rivers. Tobias Harris has been a fringe all-star choice for many and rookieĀ point guardĀ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been a very efficient and a great defender.
The only all-star between the two teams is LeBron James. James this season has averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game while shooting 51.8 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from beyond the arc. This will be his fifteenth all-star appearance as he is a regular member of the team.
The Clippers are 28-23 on the season and sit in the 8th seed of the NBA's Western Conference. The Lakers are now 26-25 on the season and sit ninth in the West.
