While LeBron James was largely resting through the All-Star Game, the Brooklyn Nets were adding another piece for a run at his title. The bigger problem for the Lakers has been the absence of All-Star Anthony Davis because of a right calf injury. "We’re fortunate to be able to add a player of Blake’s caliber to our roster at this point in the season," Nets general manager Sean Marks said. They may not be cleared to return until the weekend, after the Sixers have played their first two games of the second half. Once that's finished, teams can look ahead to a busy and exciting stretch run.
