Me and two friends purchased tickets for Cavs @ Clippers on Jan. 16th. We spent a decent chunk of change (near 400 each) on the tickets. To be honest, we mainly bought these tickets to see LeBron/Irving/Love in their primes against Griffin/Paul/Jordan in their primes. And really.... we mostly bought these tickets to see LeBron live before his athleticism starts to deteriorate. As much of a privlege it is to see all these stars in their prime, I don't think we would have bought the tickets if we knew LeBron wasn't playing.
So I guess I have a few questions for you guys.
#1 - Will LeBron play?
For one thing, the reports are saying two weeks... technically, the game is two weeks from tomorrow. If he does get 14 days rest from today, he should be ready for the 16th? Or is the assumption that he will rest the entire western road trip?
#2 - If he doesn't play, will he be there with the team, or will he back in Cleveland?
I'm assuming he'll be traveling with the team, so we might be able to see him shoot around or something even if he's not playing the game. This might have been a stupid question, since 9/10 times I see an injured player still sitting on the bench, but just suited up. I want to double check.
#3 - Did my ticket value just decrease by a large margin?
If me and my friends decide maybe we should sell these tickets and try to catch a different game with LeBron, would it be a good idea or would be losing serious money? I might be better off asking this question in the Clippers forum since resale ticket value might be different between major cities.
#4 - Would you guys still go if you were in my shoes, and LeBron is confirmed DNP?
Simple question. Would you sell the tickets or keep them and go? I'm leaning towards still going regardless of what happens since it should still be a fun matchup. Kyrie is honestly more entertaining than LeBron this year and the seats are awesome. Plus... Clippers are simply a fun fun team... although Griffin's athleticism is a bit worse this season
