In the last game on December 26, the Los Angeles Lakers lost with a score of 115-124 to the Dallas Mavericks. This is the fourth consecutive loss of the Los Angeles Lakers since December 20 and let the opponent score more than 124 points. Before that, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns (104-130), Sacramento Kings (120-134) and Charlotte Hornets (130-134).
It can be seen that the Los Angeles Lakers are in crisis without the service of their main player, Anthony Davis. LeBron James, despite keeping a high scoring performance, still cannot help the Los Angeles Lakers better.
ESPN quoted LeBron James as admitting to the team’s situation: “It’s difficult without Anthony Davis in the squad. We really miss him.”

Meanwhile, coach Darvin Ham shared: “Anthony Davis is not in the squad. We will not start using that as an excuse for defeats. Yes, the lack of Davis is a big hole in the team. “But now, we’re pros, a pro team and the Los Angeles Lakers have to keep going.”
Anthony Davis has been injured in the match since December 17. The latest information from ESPN says that this player is expected to return at the earliest from early or mid-January. Before that, there was a lot of information that made Los Angeles Lakers fans worried when it was said that Davis could be out of the game for a few months and even undergo surgery.
Anthony Davis is the second highest scoring performer of the Los Angeles Lakers with an average of 27.4 points per game (after 25 games). Meanwhile, at the age of 38, LeBron James is still carrying the team when scoring an average of 27.8 points per game (after 25 games). Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are deep in 13th place out of 15 teams on the Western NBA rankings with 13 wins and 20 losses.
