For basketball superstar LeBron James, a completely messed season ends with the Los Angeles Lakers in an additional disappointment. As the Lakers notified, the 37-year-old can not deny the last two season games in the NBA because of his ankle injury. Thus James loses the chance to his after 2007/08 second TopScorer title.
According to NBA regulations, a player must deny at least 58 of the 82 games of the regular season to go into the rating for the best point average.
James, who has been injured since the end of March, comes to 56 games. With 30.3 points on average, James achieved his second best career value after 2005/06 (31.4). Just better in the current season is only Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers / 30.4).

Lebron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis. And even Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard. The Los Angeles Lakers have sent a superstar ensemble to the race for the hunt for the sole NBA record championship. And the team actually delivers records. 82 points conceded the Lakers last against the Dallas Mavericks – in a halftime, mind you. This is negative record since the franchise in 1960 is moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles.
“My goodness, what are the Los Angeles Lakers for a bad basketball team,” USA told Today recently and suggested not to transfer the games of the 17-Palamous Master in national television.
The latest low point: After the 109: 122 in the night of Friday at Utah Jazz, the Lakers slipped in the Western Conference in eleven. Thus, the champion of 2020 would not even be with the play-in tournament.
In the last six games of the regular season, victories have to be, which also knows the championship coach Frank Vogel. “We have to fight and give ourselves a chance,” the 48-year-old said, “If we manage to get into play-in-game in full strength, we know that we have a chance.”
Of course, the Lakers have injury worries. Superstar James, TopScorer of the league with a cut of 30.1 points, lacked Utah because of an ankle injury. Anthony Davis, the second guarantee for the championship two years ago, has no longer played because of a blessur on the right center foot since mid-February.
The duo should stand before his return – and pick the chestnuts out of the fire. Star access is Westbrook (33), once valuable player and triple-double-king of the league, only a shadow of his own.
Westbrooks Trade has been extremely expensive. Around 44 million dollars, the Point Guard enters this season, James and Davis are not far behind. In view of this metropolitan, the Lakers had to make compromises for further contracts.
For the former Heroen Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neill and James Worthy is Westbrook’s face of the crisis. Johnson talked about the “worst trade of the Lakers story”, it should not even be enough for the play-in tournament, the pre-play-offs of the teams on the squares seven to ten.
The proud franchise pays plenty of college for its personnel policy. Without Davis and the meanwhile 37-year-old James, the team often has little to oppose homogeneously occupied teams.
The 37th starting formation was also used against Utah in the 76th season game. Some one says the team of the preseason – with national Dennis Schröder on the Westbrook position – had been better occupied.
The Los Angeles Lakers run the risk of even missing the play-in tournament this season. There should be changes in summer, even a trade of Anthony Davis should no longer be excluded.
Like Brian Windhorst (espn) at _GET UP! _ Explained, the Lakers will make changes in their squad in summer and exploit numerous possibilities. Even a trade from Anthony Davis should not be excluded. “I think that’s something you are being discussed,” said the Lakers insider.
The Power Forward played a weighty role in the title win 2020 for the franchise and signed a five-year contract in the following offseason over almost $ 190 million. Since then, Ad graduated only 73 out of 147 possible games due to injuries.
Also this season, the 29-year-old so far, only 37 lots, after he injured himself in December at the knee and shortly before the All-Star Break a violation at the foot. Since then, the Lakers won only four of their 17 games and are now slipped in Elf in the west. According to Chris Haynes (yahoo Sports), Davis could give his comeback in the night on Saturday against New Orleans.
Jake Fischer from the blacher Report, however, contradicted the report by Windhorst. “You will not trade him,” Fischer said to the rumors around the brow. “They have given up so much to get him from New Orleans. They have gone all-in to put Davis to the side of LeBron and it would be a shock for me if they would give this in the offseason.”

James injured him early in the second quarter when he wanted to go down to the rebound and rose on the foot of Pelicans-Big Jaxson Hayes. The 37-year-old went to the ground and stayed a while. Despite obvious pain, James continued and played at the 108: 116 defeat in New Orleans’s whopping 42 minutes in which he was 39 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
“I have no idea how I managed to finish this game,” Lebron said after the game with a thick bandaged ankle. “The ankle feels terrible at the moment.” The superstar of the Lakers stated that he only continued because this game was so important for a possible participation in the play-in-tournament.
Nevertheless, it used nothing, the Lakers achieved only 14 counters in the fourth neighborhood and thus played a 23-point lead from the first half. Although James himself posted 14 points after the break, but hit only three of his seven trials in the zone.
Due to the bankruptcy, the Lakers fall back in ten of the Western Conference, the lead on the Spurs, which are at the moment eleventh, is only a game. Whether James will fail, is unclear, the team has so far known nothing to the injury. Lebron himself stated that he did not want to miss games.

But if you pass a certain limit, then what you have just seen.”

Los Angeles Lakers (25-27) – Portland Trail Blazers (21-31) 99:94 (Boxscore)
It was not nice, it will not be interested in Lala-Land. There was little play flow, many ball losses, a surprisingly weak throwing rate from the two sector, but what was the victory. Anthony Davis (30, 10/18 FG, 10/14 FT, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks) finally delivered as it was needed. The Big One achieved after the compensation of Norman Powell three minutes before the end of the next 6 meters of the game, with three fouls and turned four free throws.
Support got the “Brief” by Carmelo Anthony (24, 8/12 FG, 5/6 threesome), who was the only Laker the threesome. Two-digit scores otherwise Dwight Howard (10, 7 Boards) and Avery Bradley (11). Russell Westbrook (9, 3/12, 10 rebounds, 13 assists) missed a triple double because of the points, but more critical was his matador defense.
Portland was completely dependent on the threesome, from the two sector, the Blazers met icy 41 percent. Except for this were Topscorer Powell (30, 10/20 FG) and also Jusuf Nurkic (16, 13 rebounds). C.J. McCollum (15, 5/17) and Starting Simons (19, 7/18) were changeable, Robert Covington (0, 0/8 FG, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals) put this “interesting” StatLine.
The Lakers quickly played a double-digit lead, Davis looked good again, but also Anthony helped the Lakers-open with four transformed throws in a piece. By contrast, guests met at all (0/8 3fg), but that changed in the second quarter. Led by Simons, the Blazers equipped eight of their 13 triples, even Nurkic sinked two attempts in a bit because Davis gave him the open throw.
Norman Powell leaves Los Angeles Lakers Zitts
In conjunction with a significant superiority of the boards (Nurkic!) The game was openly designed in the episode, Powell made with the siren for Portland had only a point behind the pause (54:53). The Blazers also took the momentum, while the Lakers continued to carry the ball too often and suddenly did not meet anything because they did not come in a basket of basket (only 3 FGA on the ring in the third quarter!).
So Portland took a small lead in the final section, although she himself did not meet 35 percent out of the field. He was used up quickly because the Blazers had a ball loss after the other. Powell’s threesome three minutes before the end brought the guests at least back to -2, slightly later succeeded by the same place of compensation. The dominant Davis minutes followed for the decision of the Lakers in this peculiar game, although Malik Monk, Anthony and Davis had missed free throws, formerly to provide clear conditions.
