Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was booed by his own fans as the Lakers slipped to a heavy 123-95 home loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.
James is starring on an individual level with 29.0 points per game, with 7.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists. However, the Lakers are struggling and could miss out on the NBA Playoffs as their regular season record slipped to 27-33 following their ninth lost in their last 12 games.
Two years after winning the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, the Lakers are sat in ninth place in the Western Conference, narrowly ahead of the Pelicans and the Portland Trail Blazers, who lie in 10th and 11th respectively. It is a close race for the postseason as only 10 teams qualify for the play-in tournament, which offers an opportunity to teams that miss out on the playoffs to qualify.
