With a loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers were officially eliminated from playoff contention, capping off what has been a disappointing first season of the LeBron James era.
With the Lakers officially out of the playoff race, there are fans that are hoping the training staff will shut James down for the season. However, James himself wants to play every game he is healthy for in the final 10 games on the schedule because he says he’ll have plenty of time to rest in the offseason.
