Just a few days ago, in the Lakers and Nets game, James contributed three dunks in this game, including aerial relay, big windmill dunks, etc., but who could have imagined that after this game, James has missed two consecutive games against the Lakers against the 76ers and the Hornets, and then there is information exposed, facing the Hawks game, James will continue to be absent, in the game with the Nets, why did james at the good end suddenly get injured? Inexplicably missed for nearly a week, what is the reason for this?
It turned out that James chose to suspend because of sore knees, because there was a fluid accumulation in the knee, which led to James having to deal with this injury in a way that had to recuperate. James is now 37 years old, the previous top center let him shoulder a heavy burden, the physical consumption is also very large, and James's suspension time is also the lakers ushered in The time of Davis's comeback, so for him, it is beyond reproach to choose this time to truce. However, Lakers fans are still very concerned about James's injury, after all, the current Lakers' ninth place in the West is a critical period for impacting the playoffs, if James falls at this time, then how should the Lakers chase the championship? Even a playoff spot is not guaranteed.
In the two games in which James was absent, the Lakers suffered two consecutive losses. At present, the gap between them and the Nuggets, who are sixth in the West, is also getting wider and wider, and with more than 30 games left this season, there is a high probability that the Lakers will compete for a playoff spot as a playoff. Wei Shao's performance in the last game was very good, but he was still alone and could not bring victory to the Lakers. The reason why the Lakers are in today's dilemma is largely because of the Westbrook deal, if not traded, James does not have to top the center position, and does not need such a big consumption, but the management made this decision.
Now even if it is too late to regret it, what the Lakers can do is to stop the loss in time and try to send Wei Shao away, but such a player is unloved in the free market, and there is a high probability that Wei Shao will stay in the hands of the Lakers. For such an outcome, the Lakers will have to carry it hard and impact the playoffs with the current lineup. It's the second half of the season, and it's a critical period to impact the playoffs, and James' health is very important to this Lakers team, so now it's better to let James rest for a while than to see him suffer more serious injuries. For him, he is already old, and he can try not to dunk without dunking.
