Lakers News: NBA Spokesman Mike Bass Responds To LeBron James’ Comments About Condensed Season

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was in the news on Wednesday after firing off a series of tweets bashing the NBA for their actions surrounding the 2020-21 season. Specifically, he criticized the league for shortening the offseason to a historically low number of days then condensing the schedule, forcing players to play nearly every other day.

In his Twitter thread, James came to the conclusion that the NBA is at fault for the significant number of injuries happening in this year’s postseason. Already, eight All-Stars have missed at least one playoff game, which is the highest number in NBA history.
