Through 39 games this season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been utterly terrible at the free-throw line, shooting a league worst 69 percent from the charity stripe. Their free throw issues are headlined by LeBron James, who is shooting 68.5 percent, but they don’t end with him. Brandon Ingram is shooting 63.4 percent and Lonzo Ball is making ....*take a deep breath, let it out*...42.9 percent of his shots from the line.
By numerous accounts, the players and coaching staff are aware of the issue. Most recently, Lakers head coach Luke Walton spoke on it and also Lonzo Ball gave the full mea culpa, pointing the finger squarely at himself.
