As the 2021-22 NBA season nears the culmination of its regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a peculiar spot. As has been the theme of their campaign, their inconsistency has resulted in the setup fighting for a play-in position. With Anthony Davis missing in action for an extended period, the onus has fallen on the mighty 37-year-old LeBron James. And although he has delivered time and again, things are looking grim for the 2020 champions.

Ever since the beginning of their campaign, the Lakers have been battling nagging injuries. One of their main absentees, has been 29-year-old Anthony Davis. Unfortunately for Frank Vogel’s side, LeBron and Davis have featured together in merely 21 outings this season.
