The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the surprise stories of the NBA season so far as they have gotten off to a better than expected start. Unfortunately the team has struggled recently for a number of reasons.
The Lakers have faced one of the toughest schedules in NBA so far and are just coming off a four-game in five nights road trip. Additionally the team has been ravaged by injuries as D’Angelo Russell, Nick Young, Julius Randle, Larry Nance Jr., and now Jose Calderon have all missed time.
As the Lakers finally return home, guard Jordan Clarkson admitted that some fatigue has set in on this team according to Mark Medina of the OC Register:
“It’s been tough, but that’s what we’re here for,” Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson said.
