Lakers 3 giants after the combination of only 1 game, and again plagued by injuries, after the away victory over the Nets, James missed the game with Philadelphia due to injury, the last game against the Hornets, James and thick eyebrows two giants collectively due to injury truce, the team finally failed to qualify for a 20-point reversal, although Wei Shao revived in the second half to play a super performance, but unfortunately the last 3 points were not shot, and the success was lost. Next, the Lakers will usher in the last game of six consecutive away games, away to the Hawks, but the team's injury situation still does not look optimistic.
According to the Lakers' latest injury report, James, who has missed 2 games, will continue to be suspended due to injury, the thick eyebrows are doubtful, and Malik Munch's state is a high probability.
James has previously suffered a left knee injury and has missed games against Philadelphia and the Hornets, and the Lakers have suffered a two-game losing streak. In the past two games, James has only participated in simple shooting training before the game, and has been watching from the sidelines since then. And 3 consecutive absences also mean that James's knee pain is not so optimistic, of course, a few consecutive breaks for the veteran is not a bad thing, after all, during the absence of thick eyebrows, James almost every game to the end, the physical consumption is extremely large, at this time to take advantage of the injury to rest for a period of time, obviously help him to maintain a better physical state at the end of the season.
After a comeback, Thick Brow suffered a right wrist injury in the second game against Philadelphia, and although he insisted on playing this game and showed his super strength again, out of caution, the team still let him take a break against the Hornets, and whether he could play against the Hawks next still had to wait for a decision before the game. For the injury of the thick eyebrows, perhaps the management and the coaching staff are very clear, rather cautious than rushed, after all, after being absent for such a long time, he still needs to adapt gradually to avoid new injury problems, otherwise, the Lakers want to complete the goal of sprinting in the middle of the season, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve.
James's absence and thick eyebrows are doubtful, which is not good news for the Lakers who urgently need a victory to stop the decline, but the only thing that makes them happy is that the state of the shooter Malik Munch in this game is a high probability of playing, which also means that he is expected to usher in a comeback in this game, which will be a big improvement for the team's outside strength.
Munch missed the last game due to a groin injury, and Vogel had to send Ellington, who had been abandoned for some time, as the starter, but it did not work well, and the Lakers' starting Five tigers played the worst performance in the league this season in the first half. If Munch can make a comeback as scheduled, the Lakers will have a reliable outside scorer to share the pressure on Westbrook in the game against the Hawks. Munch averaged 12.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season, shooting 40.3 percent from three points, making him almost the most accurate shooter in the Lakers' lineup.
And the last game Wei Shao recovered in time in the second half, becoming a harvest outside the Lakers' loss, if the game against the Eagles can continue such a performance, it proves that Wei Shao's previous sluggish performance is not caused by a major decline in state, but he is still adapting to the team's way of playing and making sacrifices, and as Wei Shao regains his feelings and self-confidence after these two games, wait until the Lakers are in a neat lineup, I believe they will play a better performance under the leadership of the 3 giants.
