LBJ later echoed his frustrations in an Instagram story.
According to the latest reports, the King might make his return within the next three weeks. Seeing how the team has performed without their superstars, it is absolutely scary to imagine how the team will be once he is back.

The injuries to Davis and LeBron has certainly been helpful for coach Frank Vogel, who has given multiple minutes to the players in the rotation. With Markieff Morris and Kyle Kuzma performing at a high level, coach Vogel has a real conundrum on his hands.
One of the lineups that he could prefer is- Dennis Schroder and Kentavious Caldwell Pope as guards, LeBron James at the small forward position, Anthony Davis at the power forward spot, and Andre Drummond as the center.
Once LBJ and Davis are back on the side, players like Talen Horton-Tucker and Kyle Kuzma will see a significant drop in their minutes. But given the form they have been in, they can be a jolt of energy from the bench.
