The Lakers recently ushered in a two-game losing streak, which is a very bad thing for the Lakers, after all, the team's previous record is not very good, coupled with Davis will be at least four weeks out of time, if this period of time to win less, may affect the final record, then the team ranking after the end of the regular season means that it will not be very high. In addition to Davis' injury, the Lakers have several players who triggered the league's health and safety agreement and are also unable to play.
The next game lakers will play against the suns, according to the lakers' official injury report, the lakers have 8 people missing the game, namely Davis, Nunn, Tucker Jr., Howard, Munch, Bradley, Reeves and Bazemore, James and Ariza are a situation with a high probability of playing, this situation is basically able to play, after all, the Lakers are now short of major generals. In recent times, the Lakers have signed two short-term contract players, namely Thomas Jr. and Mason Jones, Thomas Jr. has played games, and new signing Jones is expected to play in the next game.
Because of the absence of Davis and Howard, now the Lakers' weakest place is the interior line, the last two games lost, rebounding performance is not good, this is no way, after all, less than two major interior players, Jordan Jr.'s current performance is not very good. James and Westbrook are the core bones of the current team, James was basically the team's interior line in the last game, and the performance is very good, and the current Lakers need James to play multiple positions, of course, he is also very eager to win.
During this time, many teams are in a state of shortage of personnel, which is difficult to control, and the Suns are a relatively healthy team, the core players in the team can play in the game, the Lakers and the Suns, from the lineup point of view, the Suns must have an advantage, whether the inside or outside line has sufficient manpower, of course, before the game is over, anything can happen.
It's not just a lack of players at the moment, Lakers head coach Vogel has also triggered the league's health and safety agreement. Of course, because this kind of thing often happens, so the league also has a corresponding solution, that is, to let the team sign short contract players, many players who play in the development league have ushered in a very good opportunity to prove. I hope that the Lakers players can quickly lift the quarantine, and also look forward to the next game Lakers can win.
