Ever since they won the 2020 NBA world championship in the Walt Disney World Resort bubble, the Los Angeles Lakers have been snake-bit by the injury bug.
In the last 13 months, Anthony Davis has suffered Achilles tendinosis, a strained calf, a sprained MCL and a sprained foot, while LeBron James has sustained a severely sprained ankle, an ab injury and chronic left knee soreness and swelling.
That doesn’t even count Davis’ groin injury in last year’s playoffs that knocked him out for the duration.
