On March 8, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in the Lakers' away challenge to the Spurs, fans were expecting James to have a crazy performance again. But I didn't expect a message before the game, that is, James missed the game due to injury!
Lakers reporter Mike Trudell reported that James missed today's game due to sore knees. And he also said Vogel said the Lakers want James to play against the Rockets, and they'll see how his knees feel tomorrow! After James was initially diagnosed with a swollen knee, it was expected that he could miss a few games!
This is definitely not good news for the Lakers, who are currently only in ninth place in the West, and there is not much gap with the team behind them, only 1.5 wins ahead of the Pelicans. If James misses a few games due to injury, it is very likely that he will be overtaken by his opponent during this time, and may even be overtaken by the eleventh-placed Blazers, which is very likely to happen!
And for the Lakers, James's absence, it is time for Westbrook to lead the team alone, before the State of Westbrook's solo team is very good, playing an unexpected effect of the fans, I don't know how Westbrook can play this time!
For the Lakers, the future schedule is difficult, James has another injury situation, the Lakers' situation this season will be more difficult, I don't know if they can stabilize the playoff playoffs. The most recent matches should be about Westbrook's play!
