No matter how much fans anticipate a team’s win on a player’s key performance, at the end of the day it is a team effort. It also depends on various factors including how other team members perform, how the coach puts their strategies into play, and also, how the opponent team performs.

However, it is significant to keep in mind that every player makes the team unique in its own way. In addition, no matter how hard fans try, Bronny James’ absence will definitely be felt until he gets back.

So, the team will need to adjust everything from their strategies and game to cope with this shortcoming.
