The Los Angeles Lakers are in the midst of their first real rough patch as they dropped their third consecutive game, this time against the Denver Nuggets who have really begun to hit their own stride during the 2019-20 NBA season.
The Lakers were without LeBron James for the first time this season and his presence was sorely missed on both sides of the ball as they looked disorganized offensively while the team had no one aside from Anthony Davis who could guard Paul Millsap defensively.
Davis did his best to carry the team as he scored 32 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, but the most concerning thing is he hurt his knee in the third quarter after slipping on the floor.
