The Los Angeles Lakers will be undone by injuries
When the Los Angeles Lakers are healthy, specifically their two stars, there’s not a team in the league that they can’t compete with. However, that has not often been the case for the team over the last few months. And just when it seemed as if the Lakers were finally looking like their championship selves, they’re hit with another devastating injury.
Anthony Davis left Game 4 with a groin injury and the Lakers never looked the same. The Phoenix Suns went on to defeat the Lakers in Game 4 and tied the series at 2-2 as it shifts back to Arizona for a crucial Game 5.
I’m not sure if the Lakers are going to lose this series to the Suns, but if the Lakers don’t win a championship this season it is going to be because of their lack of health. And there’s no way the Lakers will even make it out of the West without a healthy Davis and LeBron James.
