Is LeBron James Playing Tonight vs Nuggets? Lakers Release Injury Report For the 4x NBA champion

The LA Lakers find themselves in deep waters as the only team in the league yet to win a game. Currently holding an 0-5 record, the team finds itself in an embarrassing situation, especially given the talents and big names on the team, Darvin Ham and co rank 30th in both offensive rating and 3-point shooting.

In what many believe, the Lakers are a ticking bomb amid managing the Russell Westbrook situation, dealing with Anthony Davis’ injuries, and the lack of shooting on the roster. Fortunately, LeBron James’ greatness continues to be a recalling factor for many, who continues to surpass milestones.

However, in his 20th season, there is not much that the 37-year-old superstar can do. Averaging 36.4 MPG, King James needs to be surrounded with the right pieces as he chases his 5th ring, with his championship window closing.
