The Los Angeles Lakers are a team held by the big man LeBron James as there is no Anthony Davis to rescue.

Anthony’s injuries that keep him away from the court are not a hidden fact, as it has been happening since they signed him in 2019. His skills and capabilities could not be questioned while he is on the court, but his injuries are trouble beyond weeks. Anthony Davis is injured and out for months, putting the team in a tough position. However, his contribution when LeBron James was out could not be forgotten.
