The Los Angeles Lakers took on the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night as part of the first game of TNT's weekly double-header. While Luka Doncic was in the lineup for the Lakers, LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and Jaxon Hayes all ended their road trip early and flew back to Los Angeles rather than travel to Milwaukee and Denver.

As LeBron James is currently sidelined due to a groin injury, Barkley offered his well wishes while also jokingly treading carefully.

After leaving midway through the fourth quarter against the Celtics on Saturday, Lakers fans are patiently waiting for the return of LeBron James - but not everyone is convinced he'll come back this season.
