The Los Angeles Lakers witnessed yet another turn in their roller coaster ride as this whole season has been since the start. Anthony Davis, who has been an integral part of the squad, could not participate in the games that happened in the last month. The power forward has been an injury-prone athlete since he came to the Lakers in 2019. His second year in the Purple and Gold became a massive hit as he won the championship alongside LeBron James in 2020. However, things down the line have been different, considering the changes and injuries that happened in the past few years.
The Lakers are not considered one of the best teams in the league. But their team, on paper, is a threatening one. The combination of LeBron James and Anthony Davis is enough to scare any team to its core. Following the attack was an electrifying defense of Russell Westbrook, who could score points when needed for his team. Yet the Lakers are still at the bottom of the table in the Western Conference because of their mismatch and inconsistency. Meanwhile, NBA analyst, & King James’ BIGGEST CRITIC, Skip Bayless use their tragedy as a means of his business to criticize LeBron and his team.
