The Los Angeles Lakers looked like one of the most promising teams after the changes in the trade market before the trade deadline. They made some great changes and filled every position needed to fill to bring the players back to their natural position. Although it was a great move by the front office, they forgot to check their fate with injuries this year. LA has had a preposterous past as they suffered injury whenever their good days were about to arrive. Therefore the last stretch of the season could still be in the dying hopes because of LeBron James’ right foot injury.
There is nothing worse than missing the best player that a team could hope for at the most important time of the season. And LeBron James is the best the Lakers have got, alongside Anthony Davis, who is still recovering from his injury. It all happened in their last game against Dallas Mavericks. Keep reading to find out what really happened to him.
Without LeBron James, The Lakers Are Doomed!
The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the worst teams in the league because of the bad luck that they carry. Earlier, they were just getting out-skilled with better teams and players. But since the front office has made significant changes in the team, they are a much better team in the league. However, one can never beat the luck that the universe ponders upon them. After the departure of Russell Westbrook, the Lakers have had a firm foundation to stand a chance for the postseason. Even LeBron James geared up to give his all and make the last few games the most important games of his life.
The 38-year-old beast has been a remarkable presence in the Purple and Gold jersey throughout the season. It is his consistency, even in the bad times, that makes him one of the best players in the history of basketball. However, he could only put his skills to work when he was healthy and present on the court. And in the last game against the Dallas Mavericks, James suffered an injury to his right foot, saying that he heard a pop. The next morning revaluation confirmed that LeBron James could miss more games than expected.
Last night James was not willing to leave his team lacking behind in the third quarter of the game. His spirits did help the Lakers last night, but it caused him to put extra pressure on his body. And now the reports suggest that the four-time champ could be out for a long time. LeBron is one of the top scorers on the team, with an average of 29.5 points in every game. And his absence could result in LA missing another playoff this year.
