Most fans felt that without James, the Lakers’ season could already be over. The Lakers are currently the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 25-31 record.
Can the rest of the Lakers roster manage without James?
That is a huge question put in front of the Lakers organization. Considering their team chemistry and record this season, a comeback seems questionable. Though their other star player Anthony Davis is back in the team, but fans do not seem to have a lot of trust in him due to his injury prone history.
