On January 31, Beijing time, the Lakers continued their NBA regular season away journey, this time the Lakers faced the team is the 10th place in the Eastern Conference record list of the Eagles, and finally the Lakers lost 121:129 to the Eagles, the team is now a regular season 3 consecutive losing record. In this game, Lakers star Wei Shao scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists, The thick eyebrow brother handed over the personal data of 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in a single game, and Munch in the starting lineup scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, but all of this still could not help the Lakers end the current regular season losing streak.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the performance of the 3 consecutive defeats currently being suffered, Lakers star James has returned to Los Angeles for treatment due to the examination results showing a swollen left knee. According to the news given by the Lakers, if James's knee swelling still exists, then James will not return to the NBA regular season. Of course, Lakers coach Vogel also revealed in an interview that it is not certain whether James will miss the next regular season game with the Blazers, and now James is still in a state of daily observation.
Since the current star James missed the regular season due to injury, the Lakers immediately suffered a regular season losing streak, and in the 3 NBA league regular season games after the lack of James, the Lakers are now all losing and losing. And if James can't return to the team smoothly for a period of time in the future, I am afraid that the Lakers' losing streak will be difficult to end. When talking about the Lakers, the NBA league celebrity Skip is even more blunt, saying that if James still can't return to the regular season stage next, then the Lakers will probably have a hard time locking up a playoff spot this season.
"James didn't play again today, and if his knee injury continues, this team (the Lakers) will eventually miss the playoffs." Skip predicts the presentation. Honestly, Skip's remarks are definitely not a rhetorical remark, according to the current NBA regular season record rankings, the Lakers are now no. 9 in the Western Division, and they are only 2.5 wins ahead of the 10th place Blazers. Once the Lakers finally lose to the Blazers in the next regular season, and considering that the Lakers will have to face the Bucks, Jazz and other teams after that, it may be very difficult for the Lakers to hold the 9th place at that time!
