In front of an opponent that is considered equally talented in the West region, the Los Angeles Lakers are absent a series of good players including LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Austin Reaves.
LeBron James’s absence caused the Los Angeles Lakers to receive defeat
Despite playing very hard, the imbalance in the squad was the reason why coach Darvin Ham’s army could not make a difference and accept defeat 104 – 130.
The match recorded the explosion of player Dennis Schroder (Phoenix Suns) with 30 points scored, including 14 points he scored in the third half.

Anthony Davis’ long-term injury will greatly affect the Los Angeles Lakers’ plans for the 2022-2023 season. Initial estimates said, Anthony Davis may only be absent for a month to recover from injury. This is a fierce time for the Los Angeles Lakers before and after the Christmas break, as well as important in the race to the Playoffs.
Anthony Davis (3) was also unable to play with the Los Angeles Lakers due to injury
However, the latest update from the medical team of the Los Angeles Lakers brings extremely bad news. The time it takes for Anthony Davis to return to the game can be as long as 3 months. This means that the 29-year-old striker can only return in the sprint phase of the Regular Season. At that point, the return of Anthony Davis wouldn’t make much sense.
