On January 12, Beijing time, although the Lakers sat on the big three this season, their record was not ideal, and they are currently in seventh place in the West with 21 wins and 20 losses, which is largely due to the impact of injuries, and now Brother Thick Brow and Nunn are about to return from injury.
According to reports from Lakers reporter Harrison Fagan, the thick-browed brother will be reviewed this weekend, and if all is normal, it is expected to usher in a comeback next week. On the 18th of last month, The Thick Brow Brother suffered a sprain of the medial collateral ligament of the left knee, when the Lakers announced that the Thick Brow Brother was absent for at least four weeks. So far, Brother Thick-Brow has missed 11 consecutive games, and he also warmed up for shooting before the last game against the Grizzlies.

In this season's preseason, Nunn injured his knee and should not make his regular season debut yet, averaging 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in four preseason games for the Lakers.
Both Thick Brow And Nunn are expected to make a comeback this month, so the Lakers will return to full strength! In this regard, Vogel also talked about the team's future tactical arrangements in today's interview, Vogel said: "After the return of the thick eyebrow brother, he will often play the fifth position, when he is not there, James will play the fifth position, and the team will advance according to this tactic in the second half of the season." At the same time, Vogel said that Zhan Mei was an all-rounder, which is the beauty of the two of them playing.
Although the Lakers still look in a bad condition, James has been in excellent form this season, still giving people a lot of expectations, and always making people feel that the ceiling of this team is still there. In the last ten games, James has averaged 34.5 points per game. In recent years, Old Zhan has never shown such a good and sustained form in the regular season.
Waiting for the return of the thick eyebrows, Westbrook to make some changes in time, the Lakers are still expected in the future, but for James, there are still certain challenges to playing center for a long time, which is destined to aggravate the wear and tear of the body.
