What’s Wrong with the Los Angeles Lakers?

Then, there’s LeBron, who has been more available than Davis, but King James has missed his fair share of action this season, which is very uncharacteristic of the King.

LeBron has missed 20 games this season, which is the most he’s missed since the 2018-19 season, his first year with the Lakers, when they missed the playoffs. 

When a team’s two best players are not available to play, that team is going to struggle. Make those two players, two of the best in the league, and one of the greatest players to ever play the game, and that team will struggle A LOT. That’s exactly what the Lakers have been doing: Struggling. 

According to StatMuse,  the Lakers are 8-12 when LeBron James doesn’t play. Yikes that’s rough.
