Since the injury to LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers have fallen down in the Western Conference standings. With a 1-5 record without James, it has not been pretty for the Lakers of late.
While they were playing competitive basketball the first few games without James, they haven’t looked good at all since Kuzma was injured as well. The past few games, the Lakers have been without James, Kuzma, and Rajon Rondo.
All three of those players are key players for the Lakers, and scoring has been a real chore without them. As expected without three key guys, the Lakers aren’t winning games and they aren’t playing well.
