The Lakers have been one of the most injury ravaged teams of the last three seasons. Depending on who you ask, this is either the result of snakebitten bad luck or gross incompetence by the organization and their training staff. This is the internet, after all, and the hot takes run wild. The truth however, as it most always does, probably lies in between.
During the lockout of 2011, the Lakers executed a purge of sorts. When Phil Jackson departed at the end of the season and the owners locked the players out via an end to the collective bargaining agreement, the Lakers let go of multiple staffers.
