LeBron James: Lakers Need To Avoid Drowning Until Injured Players Return

LeBron James posted a 39-point triple-double while Anthony Davis was just two assists away from a 38-point triple-double himself. And it still wasn’t enough as the Los Angeles Lakers lost for the seventh time in nine games, falling 134-132 in overtime to the Atlanta Hawks.

Injuries have hurt the Lakers as Austin Reaves has missed the last four games while the frontcourt has been without Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood all year. Not to mention Jaxson Hayes has been dealing with an ankle issue for weeks now.

Because of all of this, the rotation has been pretty limited for the Lakers, but James still feels the Lakers can come out of this as long as they don’t completely collapse.
