LeBron James has missed 7 straight games due to abdominal strain in this season so far. His return has not been updated yet. Without him, the Los Angeles Lakers are facing trouble to win games. In LeBron’s absence, the team is 3-4 in the win/loss column.
The LA Lakers team has yet to figure out the right role for Russell Westbrook in which he can play the best for them. Their head coach Frank Vogel is also facing a lot of criticisms regarding the defense.
LeBron James is right now 36 years old. As he has gone older, the injuries seem to bother his playtime a little bit now. He has already missed 9 games of this season so far.
LeBron’s contract is getting over in 2023. This gives him only 2 chances to win the championship with the Lakers if he doesn’t re-sign with them. The current situation may look like Stephen A. Smith is winning this one unless LeBron proves him wrong.
