On April 4, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and they lost again in the Lakers' home game against the Nuggets, which basically means that they are unlikely to enter the playoff game. In this game, the core james of the Lakers was absent again due to an ankle injury, which is also one of the real reasons for the team's loss!
And after the game, team reporter Dave McMenamin reported that a source with knowledge of James' situation revealed that James's ankle was "unlikely" to turn well enough to play for the Suns. But sources are also cautious that he will try to make a comeback if his condition improves unexpectedly over the next 48 hours.
The Lakers' current record is only 31 wins and 47 losses, which is already two wins away from the Spurs and three wins away from the Pelicans, and the Lakers currently have four games left, and it is very difficult to catch up with the Spurs in front. They will face the Suns in the next game, followed by the Next Three games against the Warriors, Thunder and Nuggets. Except for the Thunder, who have a chance to win, they are very difficult to win in other games!
And most importantly, even if they can win, it's very difficult to hope that the Spurs are going to make mistakes. Judging from the current state, the Lakers can only hope that a miracle will happen if they want to enter the playoffs this season! At present, although Davis is back, James is still injured, and if he can't return, then the Lakers won't be too competitive in the next few games!
At the beginning of the season, the lakers were full of momentum, And Ruijin actually missed the playoff game, which is indeed a bit helpless, and now after James' suspension, his average score per game this season has also been narrowed by Embiid behind him, and there is currently only a gap of 0.07 points, and it is likely that he will not be able to get the honor of scoring king this season!
