The Los Angeles Lakers may miss out on a big name acquisition to bolster their roster this season, which will likely leave LeBron James incensed as the iconic NBA superstar could miss the playoffs for the second successive year.
The Lakers have endured a torrid 2022/23 campaign so far. They are clinging onto a 14-21 record, and their spirited resurgence was dealt a bitter blow when Anthony Davis suffered a frustrating injury to rob the franchise of its momentum.
Prior to Davis’ ill-timed injury, the Lakers were on a season-best four-game winning streak against the Sacramento Kings, Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs. However, the team have performed far worse without the presence of the eight-time All-Star.
