The Los Angeles Lakers are officially waiving the white flag. After a not-so-hard-fought late-season playoff push, the Lakers are reportedly planning on limiting how much LeBron James sees the floor for the remainder of the season.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the front office, James and his camp have agreed to limit his minutes going forward:
“I was told now that the Lakers are out of playoff contention, that there was a conversation between LeBron James’ trainer and the front office and they came to the conclusion that, moving forward, LeBron James will play somewhere of a minutes restrictions of 28 to 32 minutes and, possibly, on back-to-backs.
