The Los Angeles Lakers lost their most recent game against their closest rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers, on Tuesday, dropping them to a 2-3 record without their superstar LeBron James on the court.
The Lakers had a good chance to win, but their chances were slim because they were without James and Anthony Davis in the closing minutes. James sustained a left ankle peroneal tendinopathy injury that caused him to miss his fifth game of the season.
That’s the reason he’s been on the injury report for the past several games, so hopefully nothing too serious. Lakers head coach Darvin Ham stated prior to Tuesday’s game that he will probably be “day-to-day” going forward.
With James, the Lakers have had difficulty winning, and they aren’t getting any better without him. When James is unavailable, it is a huge loss since he is the ultimate game-changer.
I’m sure the Laker supporters are hoping he’ll be available when the purple and gold take on the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.
This season, nothing has gone well for the Lakers. Any major or minor absence from any of the team’s essential players would be disastrous.
