The Los Angeles Lakers are 2-6 this season after a poor start to the season. However, the Lakers were 5-0 at one point and then registered two back-to-back wins. LeBron James and Anthony Davis turned around the situation for the Lakers. It is incredible considering LeBron’s recent fitness issues. Davis has been struggling with fitness issues this season as well, which puts coach Darvin Ham in a difficult position to manage minutes. LeBron, despite his fitness issues (foot), started against the Jazz in the Lakers’ loss. But it proved costly for the purple and gold, now that the 37-year-old has been struggling with his rhythm.
LeBron James has played all eight games for the Lakers this season. He has been averaging 24 points, 7.5 assists, and 9.1 rebounds per game so far this season. While these still are great numbers, it is far from the best LeBron James can offer. The Lakers were on a two-game winning streak and they called up both LeBron and Davis for the Jazz game to keep the momentum going.
