At present, the Lakers are still 1.5 wins behind the Pelicans in the Western Conference record rankings, which also means that the Lakers' next game against the Pelicans (Beijing time on April 2) will be the key to their return to the playoffs. Prior to this game, the Lakers' injury situation had been updated.
According to ESPN reporter Adrian Warnaroski, the Lakers could return the team's superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis to the game against the Pelicans. According to Wahl, LeBron James will test the ankle before the game against the Pelicans:
James has long flown back to Los Angeles to deal with ankle injuries, and Davis has been in the recovery phase of injury for some time, so for the Lakers, if they still want to return to the playoffs, then the comeback of James and Davis is a very necessary thing.
On the other hand, the recent topic of James's youngest son, Bryce James, has caused a hot discussion. According to the US media Brian Windhorst, Bryce will actually be the one with better prospects than Brownie:
"Some people have told me that Bryce could actually be the better prospect of the two and I don't know if they can go that far."
James made it clear some time ago that he hopes to play with his son in the final stages of his career, and even said which team will choose to join the promise that his son will choose to join, of course, it remains to be seen whether James's two sons can eventually enter the NBA.
Finally, the famous Jenheis Skip-Belles talked about the contrast between Jordan in the Wizards era and LeBron James at present, and made it clear that the Wizards of that year were far inferior to the Lakers this season, so it is unfair to Jordan to compare the two:
There is nothing wrong with Baylors's statement, after all, no one will think that the Wizards had a chance to compete for the championship, and so far this season, the Lakers with the big three lineup are generally considered to be a team with championship strength, but the current Lakers only have such a performance is really surprising.
