The latest Lakers News is disheartening. The NBA season, along with many other professional sports seasons, has come to a screeching halt with the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Lakers were in the midst of their best season since the early 2010s on the backs of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, seemingly poised to make a deep run in the playoffs. They may have even been title favorites before the season was suspended indefinitely in mid-March.
The fantastic run of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2019-2020 season brought a sense of optimism to the fan base that honestly has not been seen since Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol led the Lakers to the 2009 and 2010 NBA titles.
