On February 10, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In a focus battle yesterday, the Lakers lost to the Bucks 116:131 at home, and the record became 26-29, continuing to rank 9th in the West!
According to the schedule, the Lakers will travel to the away game today to challenge the Blazers. Before the game began, the team updated the injury list, with James (left knee injury) and Westbrook (tight lower back muscles) doubtful for playing (50% chance of playing).
Lakers reporter Kyle Goon said that James and Westbrook will participate in pre-game warm-up training and check their personal status to determine whether they can play in today's game.
Worryingly, James' situation will be a recurrence of old injuries. You know, he had missed 5 consecutive games because of his swollen knees. In an interview the day before yesterday, James was asked if he had to draw fluids from his knees, and James said he did not do so. In yesterday's game, James played 35 minutes and had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
Wei Shao's side, as of yesterday's game position, Wei Shao has played 55 regular season games this season, and is the only player on the Lakers who can do this. In yesterday's game, Westbrook had just 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. After being substituted in the middle of the 3rd quarter, Westbrook never came out again, sitting on the bench and watching the rest of the game. When talking about his being hidden in the snow after the game, Wei Shao bluntly said that it was not something he could decide.
In addition, in addition to James and Westbrook, Howard's status is also in doubt, and Anthony and Nunn are sure not to qualify for today's game.
