In the first game after the All-Star, the Lakers once again lost to their city rivals, the Clippers, and have been completed by the opponents this season. You know, Leonard and George on the other side did not play, which is still a bit of a heart.... In the next game, the Lakers will sit at home to meet the Pelicans, and the pre-game team updated the injury report, in which 1 person is in doubt and 3 people will be absent.
The player who played in doubt was James, who was still an old problem and still had a sore left knee. According to the current situation, James really can't rest, and once he rests, the Lakers will face more serious problems. In addition to being plagued by injuries, James was also distracted by off-court factors, all of which stemmed from all-Star interviews, and the outside world believed that he was in conflict with the team's management. After the last game, James responded, "My words are always misinterpreted by the outside world. If I comment or compliment a general manager, like the Thunder GM, I think he's done a really phenomenal job. You misinterpreted me by saying that I was expressing my displeasure with Pelinka. "In fact, this is quite normal, after all, the situation of the Lakers today is not good, and once there is any statement, it will be misinterpreted."
The players who could not play were Davis, Bradley and Nunn, all of whom were absent due to injury. Bradley and James are similarly injured, except that he has a problem with his right knee; the other Nunn still has no news of his return, has not played a regular season game for the Lakers so far this season, and the only middle-class contract has given him a bit of a loss; Davis is the team's biggest concern, but his situation does not seem to be too optimistic.
According to The Famous Woj, Lakers star Thick Eyebrow may be absent for another 4-5 weeks. Previously, the Lakers officially announced that he suffered a midfoot sprain and is expected to re-evaluate after 4 weeks, which means that his assessment time has been postponed. That said, it's uncertain whether Davis will be back before the playoffs begin. Once Davis can't return in time, it will be more difficult for the Lakers to hit sixth place in the West, and they are currently 7.5 wins behind the Nuggets, and the gap is still quite large.
