Still absent last night, LeBron James has not played since December 6 with the Lakers. Between his foot injury and his personal problems, his team misses the King.
The Lakers were no match for the Wolves last night. Without LeBron James and with an Anthony Davis who was too lonely, the step was simply too high for the Purple and Gold. The equation has generally been the same for years in LA. When the two stars of the team cannot be aligned together on the court, the Lakers seem a very ordinary team. On the fan side, we are obviously awaiting the return to the game of LeBron James. It remains to be seen when and for the moment it is completely unclear regarding the date of LBJ's comeback.
Officially, James was out last night due to foot pain, but he also left the team for a few days due to personal issues, making it difficult to know which reason really takes precedence at the moment. .
Questioned by Khobi Price, JJ Redick said he had no idea about the timing of his superstar's return to the group.
JJ Redick responded “no” when asked whether he knows when LeBron James will rejoin the team.

Without James, the Lakers risk continuing to sink slowly but surely. The franchise remains on 8 defeats in the last 11 games and is sliding into the soft underbelly of the Western Conference. (10th with 13 victories for 12 defeats). And the rest doesn't look easy with the Grizzlies on the menu and two games against the neighboring Kings. While he had announced his intention to play all 82 games of the season, LeBron James made up his mind. If he loses against Memphis on Sunday night, it would be the third game in a row that BronBron would miss.
